Subject: Re: [Bridge] VLANs and bridge

Hi Joakim,

Look back a month or so in the archives - you'll find an email from me 
referencing a patch to make the bridge VLAN aware. It's a little old, 
and needs updating for 2.6 (it was written for 2.4) - but should not be 
much work to get it done. There is a matching patch for the brctl utility.
