I have to recall my previous post, it's not Project brussels who's causing 
issues, Sebastian let me know that:

Actually, the cause of the bug is mishandling of raw Ethernet packets by 
the bcme driver, and this bug was uncovered by the introduction of the 
Clearview UV project (not Brussels).  The bug wasn't introduced by 
Clearview.  This isn't technically a regression since you couldn't 
create vlans using dladm with bcme before anyway (you actually couldn't 
create VLANs at all on bcme). 

The real problem is that being able to create VLANs over any interface 
was one of the goals of the Clearview UV putback, and so people should 
expect this to work after build 83.  Unfortunately, as we're seeing 
here, the feature is somewhat subject to quirky bugs in underlying 
drivers such as this one.

Thanks for your clarification Seb.
