Unfortunately, for a minority of Ethernet and FastEthernet cards there is no support for trunking 802.1Q within the Linux kernel. 802.1Q protocol includes a maximum size of 1522 byte (1518 normal + 4 for the tag) for Ethernet frames, while these drivers which aren’t compatible with the VLANs drop the packets greater than 1518 bytes considering them to be incorrectly formed. It is therefore recommend, after configuring the VLANs on the network, to test the functionalities by using ping with large packets.
