Nope. The customer knew precisely what he was talking about, I was
confused. :-)

The IT guy offered to turn of VLAN tagging for one of the ports on the switch.

It is unclear why a static IP works, but my *guess* is that they have a very
clever switch(excessively clever?).


Could VLAN tagging be added to eCos in software or will the drivers need
to be updated?
