 Yup.  Switched the card and problem solved.  I use RealTek mainly because I
 have heard that they have the best support for VLANs with large packets
 inside those VLANs.

 Oh well, we'll be running only cisco on the networking side pretty soon,
 then there wont be a use for VLANs on the servers :)
