In previous kernels, any kernel module could get access to the
'real-device' and the
VLAN-ID for a particular VLAN. In more recent kernels, the code was
restructured
such that this is hard to do without accessing private .h files for any
module that cannot
use GPL-only symbols.
Attached is a patch to once again allow non-GPL modules the ability to
access the
real-device and VLAN id for VLANs. This patch is against 2.6.29-rc2.
