Don't worry. If you will ever upgrade to 5.0, not only VLANs on FEC interfaces, but FEC itself won't work. > Cisco Switch FreeBSD > > /Port 4/1--------------fxp0\ /vlan0 > dot1q Trunk - EtherChannel< >--fec0---< > \Port 4/2--------------fxp1/ \vlan1 > \vlan2 > \vlanN Nice ASCII art. You can safely s/FreeBSD/Linux/g to get this work :~-( (BTW, is it working under Linux? I don't use Linux) > I am not skilled enough to diagnose the kernel internals to discern why > this doesn't work. I am willing to test any patches that may turn up. ng_fec is in FreeBSD's tree starting from 5.0, but not yet connected to the build. I assume it won't ever... :( If anyone willing to fix it and can understand what's going on in the kernel, I will gladly provide console (serial) access to a machine which has two fxp NICs and is connected to a FEC aware switch. Any takers? ----------[ Free Software ISOs - http://www.fsn.hu/?f=download ]---------- Attila Nagy e-mail: Attila.Nagy@fsn.hu Free Software Network (FSN.HU) phone @work: +361 210 1415 (194) cell.: +3630 306 6758 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
