Hello, I'd like to disable 802.1q tag stripping on my linux 2.6 box so that I can see the tagged packets on the physical device, e.g. eth0, while seeing the stripped version on the vlan device, e.g. eth0.10. I first tested to see if this behavior was present. Unfortunately, it was not. I've done some poking around on the net and have found tidbits here and there discussion the issue. Most comments seemed to state that I would most likely find different behavior on different operating systems and among different NICs. I have an Intel 82546EB NIC (e1000) which supports tagged vlans in hardware and have checked out the Intel website and kernel driver for more info. It seems that they have a driver for disabling tag stripping for windows. I found no such solution for linux. While looking through the driver, I saw where the capability was turned on, but wasn't sure if there was a general mechanism for disabling it, e.g. vconfig didn't seem to have any such options. Do you have any comments/suggestions/pointers to where I should go from here. If it comes down to it, I may end up modifying a driver, etc. Thanks, Joe
