Hello,
As far as I know, those networking features are not present in eCos, not in the eCos port of FreeBSD. I don't know the new port of Lw-IP.
Anyhow, a while ago I looked for VLAN (802.1Q VLANs) support in eCos, and my conclusion after a search through the mailing list was:
use Linux for the more advanced networking stuff.
I wonder what the eCos community thinks about this?
Kind regards,
Jürgen
P.S.: we still have not decide if we will develop VLAN support in eCos, or switch to Linux..
