Rest of the packet is intact. Please refer to the small code snippet which consistently produces the bug. set/unset the variable "stripping_vlan_tag" to reproduce the issue. is this a bug in the kernel or any problem with my coding ? I am working on a project where I will be opening all the required sockets at once and will be using as and when required. In that case, I am not able to capture vlan tags which is blocking me. However, tcpdump is capture along with vlan tag. please be noted that, both the cards are in same system and are connected just back to back using a cat5 cable. eth0 is built-in card and eth1 is usb based external network card. Is there a way to get rid of this issue ? Best Regards, Lokesh. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
