well, we've tired both "tunings" - the short-one suggested my M.Balikov and the longer-one, suggested by B.Davis
in both cases - "Protocol not supported"
how we've done this:

on FreeBSD 5.3 stable:

edited if_vlan.c
then 
    make buildworld
    make installworld
    mergemaster
    make clean

the test:
ifconfig vlan1 create
ifconfig vlan2 create
ifconfig vlan1 vlan 1 vlandev em0
ifconfig vlan2 vlan 2 vlandev vlan1
SIOCSETVLAN: "Protocol not supported"

or maybe it's possible to use hardware and software tagging simultaneously?
we could achieve double tagging proces by combining hardware and software tag in the ethernet packet.

Hmm, for -current this appears incomplete.  I think the following is
what is needed.  Any one in a position to test this?
