The VLAN aware bridge was introduced to the Linux mainline on the 3.x kernels:
http://lwn.net/Articles/538877/
Has this feature been backported to the 2.6.x kernels by anybody ? The
official linux 2.6.32.64 does not have this feature.
Regards,
Ajit.

No, we only backport fixes to 2.6.32, not new features. Such a large
patchset could definitely break working setups for various reasons ranging
from incompatibilities to errors in backports. So that's definitely not
something supposed to happen for 2.6.32.
