Hi Ruben,

Thanks for this.

Didn’t try it it with disabling the tso/lro/vlanhwtagging features. Will try again with those disabled.

My setup didn’t involve vlans, only this: tap <—> bridge <—> lagg <—> igb0, igb1, igb2, igb3

Do you think that could be it? I have no need for a vlan here, though…

The tap would fail to « up » with an error message (that I forgot to note).


I will try to do it again with the aforementioned features disabled (but without a vlan layer) and report back here.
