Hello, I want to check with the group if this is right mailing list to post my question. Here is what I am doing. + From a user-space program, mimicking the behavior of creating a VLAN interface when we execute the following ip command: $ ip link add name <vlan-intf-name> link <parent-intf-name> type vlan id <id> Example: $ ip link add name dummy.110 link dummy type vlan id 110 + My program open's a netlink socket and sends information to kernel (interface names, vlan tags etc). My code more or less follows the code in iproute2/ip/iplink.c + My code is not creating VLAN interface as executed by the 'ip link ...' command. I have a few questions around this and can post my code, if required. But please let me know if this is right mailing list or should I post on netdev list (which I feel is for advanced network questions). Thx. _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
