>Description:
Promiscuous mode on vlan interface does not work if parent interface
supports VLAN_HWTAGGING. Probably bug in sys/net/if_ethersubr.c:650
(packet with non-parents ethernet-address is rejected by ether_demux)
>How-To-Repeat:
(bge0 supports VLAN_HW_TAGGING)

# ifconfig vlan0 create
# infconfig vlan0 vlan 1 vlandev bge0
# ifconfig bge0 up
# ifconfig vlan0 up

configure bridging beetwen vlan0 and another interface (bge1):

# ifconfig bge1 172.16.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
# kldload bridge
# sysctl.net.link.ether.bridge.config="vlan0 bge1"
# sysctl.net.link.ether.bridge.enable=1

log messages:
.. kernel: bge1: promiscuous mode enabled
.. kernel: bge0: promiscuous mode enabled
.. kernel: vlan0: promiscuous mode enabled

pinging host (172.16.0.2 located on bge0 side in vlan 1)

# ping 172.16.0.2
..
Host is down
Host is down

tcpdump's in another console:

# tcpdump -e -i bge0

.0.2 tell 172.16.0.1

-----

incoming packet on bge0 is not delivered to vlan0 interface.
>Fix:
fix sys/net/if_ethersubr.c:650 (in function ether_demux)

original:

!(ether_type == ETHERTYPE_VLAN && ifp->if_nvlans > 0)) {

fixed:

!((ether_type == ETHERTYPE_VLAN || m_tag_locate(m, MTAG_VLAN, MTAG_VLAN_TAG, NULL) != NULL) && ifp->if_nvlans > 0)) {

this is an example, may be fixed by other way...
