Since Matthew Dodd fixed the existing vlan implementation (which, as I had previously recognized, is far cleaner than mine) I have removed my original patches. However, I still mantain a patch that removes the MTU limitation for the fxp driver and allows it to receive full-length packets (1500 bytes plus header).
