There was an old funny thing about bridging vlans: if you bridge vlanXX
interfaces without bridging parents - do not forget to put parent in up
and promiscuous mode. For 4.6 kernel it also required some patching.
What version are you running?

You may need to increase your mtu to allow the full sized packets to
pass
through... or you could setup a vlan w/ and id that isn't used and let
that
adjust the mtu for you..
