Thoughts on vlan filter

I had an idea, I was debugging a problem on my new 10G driver a week back,
and found I had the hardware vlan filter enabled by accident, this led me to
wonder about supporting this hardware feature in the driver...

I have done some experimentation, and find that when the vlan device is
configured, ultimately the SETMULTI ioctl will happen in my driver, this
means I could add code that checks the trunk, finds there is a vlan and
then sets the tag into the filter.

Any interest, or thoughts ya or nay about my doing this?

Cheers,

Jack
