[pve-devel] [PATCH] Virtual vlan tagging to bridge interface

What do you mean by "don't work with any devices" ?

My patch is to manage vlan tags on the bridge, not eth interface.

eth0---->vmbr0<------tap interface

vlan are tagged on tap interfaces plugged on vmbr0, with new "bridge" cmd. (like an access port on a cisco switch)
and vlans are allowed to pass through eth0.(like a trunk port on cisco switch)

So I think it should work with gre,ipsec,...(But I don't have tested it yet)

Thus, it’s a configuration issue and NOT a kernel issue. 

If alexandre’s patch don’t work with any devices it isn’t really interesting because it addressing other functionality and devices. I checked the patch and it use the same problematic part with eth*, wifi* and bond* check which fails with virtual devices like gre, ipsec,..
