Maybe i was not enough clear. It seems to me that new behaviour, with
vlan on top of bridge rather than above interface in bridge is not
functional.
In other words, i cannot use vlan and bridge together in 2.6.38 (with e1000e).

I understand hard works are in progress and old behaviour will maybe
disapear forever. Here i just don't use vlan and bridge like you
suggest me in your previous post.
