It sounds as if the hardware and/or BIOS "swizzles" the ports (i.e.,
port 2 -> vlan 0, port 0 -> vlan 2) and NetBSD does not respect that.
Does that sound right to you?

NetBSD should probably honor the VLAN matrix that is programmed by
the BIOS.  I will write a patch for that, if no one beats me to it!
