Yes we do Redmond, using install does not work for 8021q. If you add an
install line like so
install 8021q /sbin/modprobe 8021q
modprobe will repeat the command until the machine is toast.
By experimenting I was able to use
alias vlan 8021q
that will load the module.
Not sure where I am going wrong here or their is something a miss.
Also something must have changed in the network start script, as naming
an interface eth0.9 does not work the same as in Redhat 9.
I have to manually use vconfig to create the vlan before issuing service
network start. Will start a new thread on this.
