the good message is that it also does not crash, but with tcpdump I
see vlan tags when no vlan devices configured on the respective
eth, if so I do not see tags anymore vlan tags on the trunk
interface.

For all these very specific needs, you'll have to try 2.6.37 I am
afraid. Jesse did huge changes to exactly make this working, we wont
backport this to 2.6.36, but only avoid crashes.

OK, I'm perfectly fine with that, of course, actually nice to hear that
the issue already is addressed.

Likely I'll give some rc an shot on this machine (maybe over christmas),
but it is an production machine (acutally testing other devices is the
"product" produced on this machine), so unfortunately I'm not that free
in when and what I can do (but the possibility to, for example, bridge
the trunk interface would make testing easier, that justifies
something...).

Thank you all very much for your work.
