Shorewall users - Aug 2006 - Shorewall Vlans

Hello,

I know this port is maybe on the wrong place but i am running shorewall
using vlans and and i had some issuers regarding narsemi cards 

I was wondering witch card do u recoment for vlans bb4 or tg3 im running
kernel 2.4.33 but i had some issues with natsemi i installed a path and i
started getting Oversized? Errors.

Allso to know if there are any patches for the tg3 or the bb4.

My simptoms with natsemi where :

This are the simptoms:

Lack of connection and unable to authenticate to a domain server, cant use
RDP client. But in all of this chaos i found that one computer was able to
do everithing with out any problems.

So looking at the inteface of the win xp i noticed that it was a 3com card
and had enabled 802.1p, i disable it and it had exactly the same problems as
the rest, I enabled it again but unfotunately not all network card have this
available.

Is there a way to overcome this issue either with the linux box or using the
catalyst switch


So i wonder if either the bb4 or the tg3 will solve this issues on kernel
2.4.33

I know maybe someone on the list is maybe running either b44 or tg3 with
vlans


Thanks

I''m not sure i understand the question well enough, but i can say that
i''m running Shorewall on a cluster with 6 Gigabit NICs, two of which
run
VLANs.  I have no issues, but my hardware is different.  The two models
i run are:

0000:03:06.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82546EB Gigabit
Ethernet Controller (rev 01)
0000:04:02.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82541GI/PI Gigabit
Ethernet

Both of these models use the e1000 driver.  The servers are Dell PE750s.
