Why would you like to bridge VLANs? If I want some stations to be on the same
LAN segment I put them to the same VLAN. If I want them to be on different
segments I put them in separate VLANs and route (or if you wish switch on
layer three) between corresponding interfaces. I don't see any use for bridging
VLANs.
In any case I would definitely like to see solid implementation of 802.1q VLANs
in FreeBSD.
