I think it needs this:
#if __FreeBSD_version >= 500000
ifp->if_capabilities |= IFCAP_VLAN_HWTAGGING | IFCAP_VLAN_MTU;
#endif
changed to:
/*
* Tell the upper layer(s) we support long frames.
*/
ifp->if_data.ifi_hdrlen = sizeof(struct ether_vlan_header);
#if __FreeBSD_version >= 500000
ifp->if_capabilities |= IFCAP_VLAN_HWTAGGING | IFCAP_VLAN_MTU;
#endif
to work for both -stable and -current. Tomorrow I can test it out at work,
if someone beats me to it and commit it that's fine.
