Please can you describe the setup in more detail, including the bridge
and NIC setup in dom0. It sounds like you're trying to pass a VLAN trunk
into a guest and then use vconfig inside the guest, but I didn't think
you could do this with the standard linux bridge as it didn't support
VLAN trunking.
