I was poking around with routers and switches, and I stumbled across a site that said that Linux supported VLAN Tagging (802.1q) in the kernel... I was really impressed when my new Fedora box (and RHEL btw) had the 8021q module and /sbin/vconfig .. however, I think there is a problem with it, if I ssh to a Solaris box and for example cat a large file, the connection hangs.. I can truss the shell process to see that its still functioning properly, but I see no output on the screen.. I end up having to "~." the connection... it also seems to affect vi sessions (which sucks). I don't know if this problem has something to do with my Solaris box (running alpha Solaris builds) the switch (WS-2948) or the trunking on linux.. if anyone has some free cycles, can you please try this out and let me know if you have similar problems? (then we can file a bug.... under the kernel module I guess?)
too much technical consultation for fedora-list, try it on linux-net@vger.kernel.org || netdev@oss.sgi.com || vlan@wanfear.com
