From 0a85df004667c99efc31fab07386823eefce3be5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hao Zheng Date: Thu, 11 Nov 2010 13:47:57 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] vlan: Add function to retrieve EtherType from vlan packets. Depending on how a packet is vlan tagged (i.e. hardware accelerated or not), the encapsulated protocol is stored in different locations. This provides a consistent method of accessing that protocol, which is needed by drivers, security checks, etc. Signed-off-by: Hao Zheng Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross Signed-off-by: David S.
