The recent em0 upgrade added HW support for VLANs in the driver,
and I'm just wondering if it broke the old non-HW-supported method.
There's an experiment you could try.  Use ifconfig to set "link0" on
both vlan1 and vlan2, then see if it starts working.  Just an idea to
try.  I don't know whether it will make any difference.
