+The VIC performs packet matching after applying VLAN strip. If VLAN
+stripping is enabled, EtherType in the ETH item corresponds to the
+stripped VLAN header's EtherType. Stripping does not affect the VLAN
+item. TCI and EtherType in the VLAN item are matched against those in
+the (stripped) VLAN header whether stripping is enabled or disabled.

 More features may be added in future firmware and new versions of the VIC.
