Since the vlan then has a different ether MAC to the parent device, i dont think the parent device is passing the packets back to the vlan device. What i tried to implement was a patch to the vlan device to update the parent device's ether MAC address. I dont do this kind of programming so i really dont have much skill with device drivers, i asked a few devs that worked on the vlan device, and i either got no reply, and the ones that did reply, only did so once and no further. So if someone is willing to help, i would do whatever i can to help to.
