(If I'm able to get a decent understanding of the issues involved, I may even tackle writing a section for the Handbook on VLANs.) Here's the setup. The physical device is fxp0. I have not applied any patches to the physical driver for larger MTUs. If I don't ifconfig fxp0 and try to go straight to an ifconfig of vlan0, the kernel panics. (I haven't looked at why yet, but probably could if somebody thought it'd help.) Interestingly, it also seems to panic if I ifconfig vlan1 before I configure vlan0. If I do ifconfig fxp0 first and then ifconfig vlan0 on top of it, I get a booted system. However, arp issues lots of warning messages about packets arriving on fxp0 when they should be on vlan0 and I can't ping the box. If you have advice or even just have running VLANs on a fairly stock 4.x system, I'd love to see a snippet of your rc.conf or the hardwired ifconfig commands you may be using.
