My goal today was to upgrade m0n0wall running on a net4801 with a
shiny new net5501.
I installed the generic-pc-1.231 (FreeBSD 4.11) on the net5501,
replaced every "sis" with "vr" to create my new config.xml .
vr0 - untagged LAN
vr1 - untagged WAN
vr2 - tagged VOIP, WLAN, OVPN, VLAN1 and XTRA
vr3 - empty
Long story short, it appears that VLAN "long frames" are not being
used in the "vr" driver with m0n0wall. It appears I am having MTU
issues, ping's work everywhere, but large http's stall when tagged to
untagged interfaces are used, tagged to tagged work fine. UDP
traffic is fine.
I tried m0n0wall 1.3b4 (FreeBSD 6.2) , same MTU issues.
If I try exec.php "ifconfig vr2 vlanhwtag" I get 'Invalid Keyword'
Any suggestions to enable long frames in the "vr" driver and solve
the MTU issues?
Does FreeBSD or Linux support VLAN 'long frames' properly on the
net5501?

Lonnie
