I couldn't find any reference to any major changes in kernel 2.6.32-279 in regards to vlans. It's most likely a bug.

It seems for us to only get Broadcom nics using bnx2. This is the 2nd regresssion bug with network drivers in the last two releases that Red Hat put out (The RHEL5.8 release kernel had a issue with tg3 w/ vlans). Ugh. Thanks, derek -- --- Derek T.
