[nsp] dot1q causes port error?

[Stephen J. Wilcox]

Hi Gert,
 12.0S is appealling to me in view of all these 12.2 bugs but its a while since
i used them..

You've listed a few below - 12.0(21)S5, 12.0(18)S1.. 12.2(12a)

In your current experience which is the most stable?

Btw are you running dot1q or DEC21140 FE ?

Steve
