Loading the 802.1q module has the same effect.

I think this may be on purpose; it is telling the switch to accept
packets with vid==0 (and untagged packets).

As far as I can see, the switch treats packets with vid==0 and untaged packets
as unknown if VLAN support is enabled.

Anyway, sounds odd. Sure this isn't a configuration problem somethere ?
