I cannot successfully create a vlan on if_em on either releng 7 or releng 8; I have seen a patch for part of the problem (checksum offsets end up incorrect) but not all. Even turning off ALL hw_xxx flags leaves one unacceptable bug - the interface gets hard-reset any time you add or delete a vlan. I *know* that cisco uses these interfaces without these problems, so it has to be possible. I have used vlans in linux without appearing to get the same problems, though I'm not sure the rest of the configuration matches. What gives, especially since the patch for one of the problems (wrong checksum offsets) was generated about 6 months ago... We are trying to use an intel platform as a router; this is a show-stopper. I could try linux though I prefer not to... -- Pete
