How about an Intel NIC? In my experience these are far less expensive than those offered by the server vendors. I know that they support VLAN and they are supported by Linux. |

VLANs operate at Layer 2 (the data link layer) of the OSI model. So, the support of this feature is independent of the NIC. You can just configure your kernel to support it. |

I know, it should be that way. But I had this Gigabit D-Link NIC, and trying to send VLAN-tagged frames through that NIC just won't work. |

I had to plug an HP-branded NIC before VLAN-tagging works. |

Problem is, those HP-branded NICs are expensive; I'm looking for less expensive alternatives. |
