I have seen that mentioned on many VLAN lists so I tried an Intel card with the eepro100 module in the PCI slot of my Soekris and it still wouldn't work.  Basically it wouldn't let me set the MTU to 1504.  Its good to hear that you've used eepro100 successfully.  I either have an old version of the module or I'm doing something wrong in the vlan setup.

Hi Joe

I have not tried the natsemi driver with VLAN's but will say that in my
experaince a large number of the ethernet drivers in the kernel do not
support VLAN's.

The only drivers drivers I have ever used successfully are eepro100 and
the intel drivers e100 and e1000. For example none of the 3com drivers
that I tested worked with VLAN's.

Cheers
Mike
