I have seen this bug in many threads also checked "http://www.mailinglistarchive.com/xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg19768.html";, but nothing works for me.

I am having 4 nics, driver for 2 nics is e1000 and 2 nics is e100.

Setup
( 192.168.1.1)br0-----------eth0
|-------------eth1

traffic flows through my bridge machine and i can ping 192.168.1.1, vlan traffic also pass through it.

I am not able to ping 192.168.1.1 using vlan interface

so i created and added vlan interfaces to bridge
( 192.168.1.1)br0-----------eth0
|-------------eth1
|-------------eth0.3
|-------------eth1.3

Still i am not able to ping 192.168.1.1.

I then removed eth0, and eth1 from br0
( 192.168.1.1)br0-----------eth0.3
|-------------eth1.3

Now I am able to ping 192.168.1.1

My kernel is linux-2.6.27.45 and e100 driver is "3.5.23-k4-NAPI" which comes with kernel.


Same scenario works fine with e1000 driver.

This bug is already reported and i am not able to find any patch for it.
