Hi,

My 1043ND is running HEAD @ r265004M and it's a bit unhappy when
configuring vlans on the RTL8366RB. Only after reverting revisions
253569 253568 and 250382 things went back to running normal.

This is from before reverting:

# etherswitchcfg -v info
etherswitch0: Realtek RTL8366RB with 6 ports and 16 VLAN groups
etherswitch0: VLAN capabilities=0<>
port0:
        flags=0<>
        media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
        status: no carrier
port1:
        flags=0<>
        media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>)
        status: active
port2:
        flags=0<>
        media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
        status: no carrier
port3:
        flags=0<>
        media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
        status: no carrier
port4:
        flags=0<>
        media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
        status: no carrier
port5:
        flags=0<>
        media: Ethernet 1000baseT <half-duplex,rxpause,txpause>
        status: active
vlangroup0:
        vlan: 4094
        members 5t
vlangroup1:
        vlan: 1
        members 0,5t
vlangroup2:
        vlan: 2
        members 1,2,3,4,5t
vlangroup3:
        vlan: 4
        members none
[..]

# etherswitchcfg config vlan_mode   
vlan_mode needs an argument

This is annoying as well, though setting it to port produces no output
and apparently doesn't work out anyway.

# etherswitchcfg port1 pvid
pvid needs an argument
port1:
        flags=0<>
        media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>)
        status: active
# etherswitchcfg port1 pvid 2
etherswitchcfg: ioctl(IOETHERSWITCHSETPORT): Device not configured

I decided to just leave out those revisions to make it usable again,
since those were the most notable changes in the etherswitch area.

Regards,
Harm
