hello, as far as i know, currently there is no native vlan support in
network device drivers. I mean, always need patching MTU.. add 4 bytes..

A few drivers still need patching, and unfortunately the VLAN driver
patches floating around all need cleaning up.
What does a network device driver need to do to ensure VLAN compatibility? Is 
it as simple as allocating buffer space for MTU + 4 bytes or is there more to 
it than that?
