    Linux currently has no support for VLANs in any standard kernel,

I'd really like to see one of the two (three) implementations out
there cleaned up and integrated real soon if possible. 

There is .1q aware hardware so having some infrastructure will help
guide people there. Not to mention, it's quite a useful thing to
have, something NetBSD has had for a while and FreeBSD for a little
less time now.

Dave/Alexey -- have either of you two looked at the code that is out
there and considered how difficult integration might be?
