    Good day all,

    In my infinite striving towards perfection *cough* I've gone through a lot of
    hoops to get ng_fec working for (at least for the time being) the bge
    interfaces (not that I understand it really yet). Now, being limited in
    the number of interfaces available to me on this project, I'm attempting
    to attach vlans to the fec interface, with no signs of success, up to
    this point.

    I have two dell 1750's connected to a c3750 switch. FEC works with ip
    addresses attached to the fec0 interfaces (although, single connections seem
    to remain on one link or the other, I haven't played with the load-balancing
    on the switch yet for the channel group, might be my fault).

    My questions are:

    1) Is is even possible to successfully "attach" vlan devices to netgraph
    nodes, specifically the ng_fec node (I can't decipher enough of netgraph to
    begin with to make a guess, just a copy monkey here...), i.e. have interface
    fec the parent device?

    2) Is the correct way on the Cisco side to configure interfaces in the FEC
    group as trunks, _or_ group them as access ports, and make the FEC group a
    trunk? (I haven't read exhaustively on this, seems to be some descrepency
    between CatOS and IOS on this anyway...)

    btw, with a few more hints, I could get a manpage up... I have patches to
    attach it to the world build as well, compiles fine on 4.8-R, fwiw.
