You may want to replace the NIC instead, I suspect the cause is
something broken in the hardware that refuses to accept VLAN tagged
frames unless in promiscuous mode (which is somewhat common on cheap
desktop class NICs as they aren't expected nor tested to work with
VLAN tagging). Even if that seems to resolve it initially, it could
easily have other VLAN tagging related issues causing you additional
headaches down the road, like blackholing long frames.
