Hi Joe

I have not tried the natsemi driver with VLAN's but will say that in my 
experaince a large number of the ethernet drivers in the kernel do not 
support VLAN's.

The only drivers drivers I have ever used successfully are eepro100 and 
the intel drivers e100 and e1000. For example none of the 3com drivers 
that I tested worked with VLAN's.

Cheers
Mike
