            Bug ID: 276936
           Summary: ixgbe: if interface is in bridge, and vlan interface
                    on same interface is also in bridge, packets are not
                    passed correctly
           Product: Base System
           Version: 14.0-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: b...@freebsd.org
          Reporter: lexi.free...@le-fay.org

tested on: FreeBSD hemlock.eden.le-fay.org 14.0-RELEASE-p4 FreeBSD

sample broken configuration:

# ifconfig tap0 create
# ifconfig tap1 create
# ifconfig bridge0 create addm ix1 addm tap0 up
# ifconfig ix1.107 create vlan 107 vlandev ix0
# ifconfig bridge1 create addm ix1.107 addm tap1 up

although this config appears to work, the bridge1 interface will not pass
packets correctly, and a VM attached to tap1 will have no network connectivity.
 a VM attached to tap0 (on bridge) works fine.

this configuration works correctly, when both bridges use tagged interfaces:

# ifconfig tap0 create
# ifconfig tap1 create
# ifconfig ix1.106 create vlan 106 vlandev ix0
# ifconfig bridge0 create addm ix1.106 addm tap0 up
# ifconfig ix1.107 create vlan 107 vlandev ix0
# ifconfig bridge1 create addm ix1.107 addm tap1 up

i've only tested this with an ixgbe(4), so it may be specific to this hardware,
but disabling all VLAN-related hardware acceleration with ifconfig did not fix
the problem.
