Karmic Koala

Before upgrading ubuntu 9.04 with the br0ken network to 9.10, I grabbed and compiled the mainline 2.6.32-rc6 kernel to make sure I had at least a working kernel to fix issues if the Karmic kernel was broken too.
Since the mainline kernel worked fine, I continued to upgrade to Karmic Koala, which uses a 2.6.31 kernel. I was happy to find out that the ubuntu 9.10 kernel didn't have any issues with my VLAN setup.
I still wonder if the issue was caused by an ubuntu specific patch or if the mainline kernel had issues. Maybe I'll git bisect it to feed my curiosity.
