bce vlan stripping limitations

[Tom Beard]

Hi all

I’m having issues with vlan handling on a bce interface on 11.0-RELEASE.  From what I’ve read, the bce driver supports hardware vlan stripping and is indeed doing this.  My intent was to create a vlan interface bound to the bce interface and bridge this to a tap interface to use with a bhyve VM (as below).  

Outbound traffic from the VM is correctly bridged from tap1 to vlan1 then tagged with vlan 304 and passed out on bce0

Inbound traffic tagged with vlan 304 on bce0 never makes it to vlan0.

From what I can tell this is caused by vlan stripping on the bce0 interface and it looks like I can’t disable it leaving me with little option but to buy a new network card.

Can anyone validate that I’m correct here and this is a known limitation or am I barking up completely the wrong tree?

Thanks
Tom
