Ok, that works. It's clunky - but it works...

Presumably, other people configuring it don't run into the issue 
(lagg+VLAN) because of different FreeBSD version / NIC's?

Is the issue just that the VLAN code thinks the LAGG is the parent, and 
doesn't "see" the underlying card is long-frame capable?

Or is it as simple as the em cards not being listed as 'long-frame capable' 
(i.e. from the man page).
