Synopsis: [vlan] Packets transmitted on vlan(4) interfaces with a parent vge(4) vanish. State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback State-Changed-By: yongari State-Changed-When: Tue Sep 6 00:43:02 UTC 2011 State-Changed-Why: It seems parent interface vge(4) thinks it does not have established link. vge(4) actively keeps track of current link state and it does not try to send packets when it lost link. Unlike other drivers, vge(4) relies on its PHY hardware generates an interrupt on link status change. If the PHY failed to generate interrupt for link establishment, parent device may not see the update link status. To experiment this, try unplug the UTP cable and replug it and see whether that makes any difference for you. I'd also like to know your PHY hardware and controller revision so post dmesg and "pciconf -lcbv" output. I failed to reproduce the issue on my VIA VT6130 PCIe controller though.
