I could do that.  What’s the easy way to get an unpacked 14.2 generic amd64 kernel?
I can install a VM at work and copy it, but I assume there’s a package I can just unroll.

That would be a bit of work.  I have an available ix port, so I can run a line to the machine
without vlan. It would still be a VLAN in the switch, because running a direct line is not
possible without much rewiring and very long cables.  But if the test is to rule out the vlan
interface I can do that.  It just requires rewriting all of the systems config to know that the
outside is different than it is now, which _should_ be easy, but I don’t know the depth of
it since I haven’t done it in eons.  I’ll look to find a time to try that.
