Thanks Erik, >No need to write that, support for IEEE 802.1Q VLAN has been in the kernel for ages. I need to write the vlan driver for Marvell chip(88e6060), fortunately it is supported in 2.6.28 kernel, but we are using 2.6.21.5 kernel, hence my task is to port the vlan driver from 2.6.28 to 2.6.21.5(my kernel version). Could any one guide me on same?

Again, no need to write that, it's already there.
