I came across the issue because i used cb in batching to store transient state which is used between qdisc dequeueing and hardware enqueueing (looked and smelled legit to me).Right, dequeue->device should be OK and doesn't work because of the VLAN issue.
So, shall we add a new field to the skb in order to get the info out of cb? Looks like a single 32-bit field would be sufficient. Thanks, Ben -- Ben Greear [off-list ref] Candela Technologies Inc http://www.candelatech.com
