From 18c22a03a2187bcbda7d3a7fa1061584a6348e7b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Pirko Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2012 01:37:36 +0000 Subject: vlan: allow to change type when no vlan device is hooked on netdev vlan_info might be present but still no vlan devices might be there. That is in case of vlan0 automatically added. So in that case, allow to change netdev type. Reported-by: Jon Stanley Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S.
