Thanks, this works. I saw now that you even mentioned that "protocol
all" doesn't work at the very end of this commit message.

Looks like adding the "data" at the end of it makes a difference when
creating the packets. Without it the ip.proto field becomes 17 (UDP).
With "data" it becomes 0 (IPv6 Hop-by-Hop Option). Ef will defaults to
17 if no data is specified, otherwise it ends up 0. And the reason
UDP doesn't get trapped I assume is because this rule falls under the
IPV4_OTHER keyset (as opposed to IPV4_TCP_UDP).

Doing just this was enough:
ef tx eth0 rep 10 eth dmac 0a:0b:0c:0d:0e:0f smac 2::2 ipv4 dip 1.0.1.1 sip 2.0.2.2 data

This also solved it for VLANs. I have successfully tested ipv4, ipv6,
protocol info (ICMP), and vlan tag info from the examples you provided.

Tested on Microchip PCB135 switch.
