Via-rhine problems w/ vlans

Folks,

Anyone know of any problems involving the via-rhine based hardware?
Google is uninformative.

I have a small ATX VIA motherboard with two via-rhine based ethernet
ports.  I added another ethernet card (Realtek-based).  All the
ethernet cards work properly with no vlan tagging.  The Realtek works
with vlan tags.  But any vlans added to the via-rhine are just not
passing traffic (and I have about 60 vlans spread between the two I
need to work).

A tcpdump on the remote system shows arp who-has packets arriving and
arp replies going out the vlan.  The system in question, however,
doesn't see the arp replies.  Anyone seen this behavior before?

Note:  there are no firewall rules.  Just routing.  Realtek works (has
2 vlans), just not the via-rhine tagged stuff, only the untagged
traffic flows.

TIA,

David A. Bandel
