hi Scott,

I can change the ethertype on other vendors switches without writing new
code ;)
Anyways, I guess it's not possible as i've read quite some docs for this
already, but perhaps an SP guy knows the answer. Even if it's a no. :)

I have one tagged 802.1q 0x8100 link and i cannot do dual dot1q tags on this
link, because of some intermediate equipment....
So i would like to tag on a cisco with another ethertype to get through the
intermediate equipment.

Thanks and regards,
Wouter
