Hi if you are not in a mood for a rant please skip … other wise …

i have spent hours / days even trying to figureout linux bridges with linux-aware-bridge… come to find out people programming linux’s stack didnt know jack shit about vlans it seems… now we are apparently stuck with TWO pvid definitions… PRIVATE vlan ids … wich are defined in device and are or “should” be stripped when leaving the device…(and a compleatly different tagging mechanism than “public vlans” ) and PRIMARY vlan id… both using the acronym PVID… with compleatly DIFFERENT roles and meaning. apparently… they where not content with the usual networking nomenclature “native” … linux is great… but really you couldn’t spend 5 minutes checking that the term wasn’t used prior ? now its all a kabloowy mess. :-/ << not happy face.

/end rant.
