NETIF_F_VLAN_CHALLENGED should be set for devices which can't cope with VLAN headers. Some drivers set this because the cards can't handle the bigger MTU. [FIXME: Those cases could be fixed in VLAN code by allowing only reduced-MTU VLANs. This may be not useful, though.]My case is exactly what is here in FIXME comment - yes, this chip cannot handle full size MTU for VLANs, and TCP/IP traffic don't work well over this VLAN.
I disagree with the comment in that document, I didn't write it.
