Yes, you are correct. This card has built-in support for vlan tagging. I am
passing enable_tagging=0, but it doesn't help. I just tried the same setup
using a 3c905C card and then it works perfectly (this card does not support
hw vlan tagging).

Are you refering to vconfig when you talk about "soft version" or am I
missing something?
