[GRLUG] VLANs and Linux

[Michael Mol]

...And I got it working. Turns out, I need to have run 'vconfig add
eth0 VLANID' for *EVERY* tag number my laptop will see, or something
(I don't know what) throws a fit and declares the parent interface
down.

As an aside, I'll also note that with this AP (TL-WA701ND), there is
*no* untagged traffic when Multi-SSID mode is online.
