I use ZeroShell that is a Linux distribution for servers and embedded devices and I remember when I tested it with older kernel than the 2.6.15 one it correctly worked with bridges and large 802.1q tagged packets. I don't remember exactly the kernel release (2.6.12 2.6.13 2.6.14) but I am sure It worked fine. I used 3com 3c905c e Intel e100 10/100mb interfaces whose kernel modules work fine with VLAN. I have also tried to bridge TAP devices by using OpenVPN software to obtain a layer 2 VPN bridged to fast ethernet interfaces which successfully tunneled 802.1q VLANs. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Fulvio Ricciardi web: http://www.zeroshell.net/eng/ skype: zeroshellnet Phone: +3908321835630
