Router Station Pro etherswitchcfg problem

[Adrian Chadd]

Hi,

The chip does do per-port tagged/native stuff. I wonder why the
configuration side isn't.

I admit I've been hands-off on the VLAN side of things. I'd really
like it to be thoroughly tested and documented by others; that way I
can focus on the VLAN bringup on the AR9331/AR934x chips and the
AR8327 switch.

Thanks!
