It depends on which level we support vlans. I see two options: * full support with the debconf questions and proper scripts, * only make the necessary udebs available and a good documentation on how to enable vlans through a shell. In my opinion, people who would like to enable VLAN should be pretty used to the command-line (network switches are usually configured that way), so the later would be enough, IMHO. > > vlan support in the installer would avoid this reconfiguration. > > Where to find more information about vlan support? > (Please provide pointer to vlan support in debian) Please look into the vlan [1] package for the necessary command line tools. Kernel support is provided by the 8021q module, available in standard Debian kernel. [1] http://packages.debian.org/vlan Once the vlan package is installed, I just need to write something like: iface eth0.42 inet dhcp This will configure an interface named "eth0.42", using the physical link connected on "eth0" and tagging packets with VLANID 42. So in any case, we would need to recognize if such interface is used during the installation process to install the "vlan" package in the target. Cheers, -- Jérémy Bobbio .''`.
