 Just a note that bge(4) still does not work properly in a VLAN setup.  
 What's not seen in this PR is that sborrill@ backed out his changes of a 
 year ago shortly after he made them, as they do not actually fix the 
 problem.
 
 
 Interestingly enough, while vlans in general do not work properly, as I 
 was testing various combinations of patches and stuff, there was a 
 period of several days during which vlans *were* working on a stock 
 6.0_BETA kernel.  This persisted until I had to power-cycle the machine; 
 now they don't work again. (They don't work with the backed-out patches, 
 either - I've tried)  This leads me to believe there is some setup I 
 accidentally did that's missing from our driver, and might be enough to 
 get vlan support going.
 
 If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to try them.
