maybe you can check it manually:
set network script to false, and create manually the bridge.

Hmm, how do I do it?


I noticed that VLANs won't work with yet another 100 Mbit network card: Realtek 8139 (8139too module).


e100 and 8139too have something MTU-related - setting MTU higher than 1500 is impossible:

# ifconfig eth0 mtu 1501
SIOCSIFMTU: Invalid argument


With e1000 card, I can set a higher MTU without problems.


However, lowering MTU for eth0/VLANs doesn't make any difference.
