FreeBSD 10.0-R connected to Cisco switch (in 'trunk' mode with native VLAN) - doesn't work?

I don't think that's the issue - I've had a couple of emails from other 
people who have this setup working, so I'd guess that's just a syntactical 
'whats better / worse' kind of thing...

Yes, the project involves an element of migration - existing hosts being 
brought over will not have VLAN support, and a requirement is for them to 
just 'drop in' to the network, and still work.

Thanks to those who replied (on and off list) - I've been able to create a 
test setup in house, which doesn't seem to have the issue - so I'll do some 
more digging around comparing that, to the remote kit / setup.

I was just ruling out any known issues doing this kind of thing (which 
there doesn't appear to be).
