Hi to all,

I'm new with Linux VLAN support and with Linux in
general... Last time I use it was a long time ago.
I been reading a lot about the support of VLAN in the
newest kernels and test it with succesful
results....until I send a "ping -s 1476 x.x.x.x"
packet.  Yes MTU issues :-S
I'm using 2.6.5 and 2.6.8 kernels, but seems to me
that the patches for the drivers are for 2.4.x
kernels.  Their is a way to patch the drivers *.c
files that comes with these new kernels?

I even patched the 2.6.5 with a 3c59x patch I found in
a page: http://www.oneunified.net/support/linux.html

debian:/usr/src/linux-2.6.5/drivers/net# patch 3c59x.c
3c59x-patch 
patching file 3c59x.c
Hunk #1 succeeded at 329 (offset 21 lines).
Hunk #2 succeeded at 700 (offset 46 lines).
Hunk #3 succeeded at 728 (offset 46 lines).
Hunk #4 succeeded at 825 (offset 45 lines).
Hunk #5 FAILED at 894.
Hunk #6 succeeded at 1174 (offset 136 lines).
Hunk #7 succeeded at 1627 (offset 157 lines).
Hunk #8 succeeded at 1711 (offset 157 lines).
Hunk #9 succeeded at 1857 (offset 164 lines).
Hunk #10 succeeded at 2082 (offset 169 lines).
debian:/usr/src/linux-2.6.5/drivers/net# 

But it sends me an error on one of the Hunks.

Can anyone help me with some information.
Best regards and thanks,

Nelson
