Package: linux-image-2.6.16-1-686 Version: 2.6.16-12 Severity: normal
After booting 2.6.16-12 linux-image VLAN support on Intel e1000 network interface is broken. VLAN's did and do work on all previous Debian 2.6.16 linux-images. --- example --- # ifup vlan72 Set name-type for VLAN subsystem. Should be visible in /proc/net/vlan/config Added VLAN with VID == 72 to IF -:eth0:- SIOCSIFADDR: No such device vlan72: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device vlan72: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device vlan72: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device Failed to bring up vlan72. # cat /proc/net/vlan/config VLAN Dev name | VLAN ID Name-Type: VLAN_NAME_TYPE_PLUS_VID_NO_PAD vlan72_temp | 72 | eth0 --- end example --- These are messages I've seen earlier while trying to load VLAN support on interfaces/drivers that doesn't support 802.1q. I noticed e1000 changes from the latest linux-image changelog: - NET: e1000: Update truesize with the length of the packet for packet split Could this problem be related to this change ? -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.16-1-686 depends on: ii module-init-tools 3.2.2-2 tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii yaird [linux-initramfs-tool] 0.0.12-9 Yet Another mkInitRD Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.16-1-686 recommends: ii libc6-i686 2.3.6-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries [i -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
