Hi all,

I'm trying to set up Vlans on my WL-HDD and use an external VLAN-capable switch to break out the interfaces as separate ports
The end result would be configured like this:
vlan0 - lan - switch ports 1-15
vlan1 - wan - switch port 16

I'm running Whiterussian 0.9 Squashfs.

The WL-HDD has eth1 connected to the outside world as it's wired LAN port, eth2 as the wireless and eth0 goes nowhere.

Configuring vlan0 via nvram variables doesn't seem to work as vlan0 gets associated with eth0 even if I specify:
vlan0hwname=et1
I can prove this - if I do "ifconfig eth0 down", vlan0 dissapears.

So I configured vlan0 manually:
vconfig add eth1 0
ifconfig vlan0 192.168.1.1/24

even with this config, I still can't ping 192.168.1.1 from the outside world.  If I connect my laptop directly to the WLHDD I should think that I should be able to ping 192.168.1.1 from it because there is no switch in between to interpret vlan tags and thereby deny access to vlan0.

I think I made this work with an older version of WhiteRussian, but now I can't get it to work at all.

Has anyone else tried anything like this?
