Well, harrumph indeed.  Would be nice if hyperswapping didn't require a 
non-vswitch'd Linux! 

Mark, that was my instinct too, but it doesn't appear to be working - note the 
RX packets = 0 on the vlan755 device.

"Use a VSWITCH anyway."  Ha!  There.  I said it.  ("Not allowed."
Harrumph.)

According to an article I read, VLAN tags are applied to the bonding
interface. (Google vlan channel bonding.)  Be sure that the only VLANs
authorized on the trunk are those needed by Linux, as there are no
controls in the OSA firmware to restrict VLAN usage.  And if necessary,
turn off Ip forwarding.
