acenic swallowing 802.1q tag when kernel compiled with VLAN support

Hi,
i discovered that once the kernel is compiled 802.1Q VLAN Support the acenic driver
swallows the 802.1q header in promiscous mode. I am tracing an gigabit ethernet
with 802.1q in 802.1q so i would usually see 2 802.1q VLAN header. When compiling
with VLAN aka 802.1q support the first or outer vlan header disappears from the traces
even though the vlan support kernel module is not loaded nor vlans activated on the link.

Card i am using:

	0000:06:02.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c985 1000BaseSX (SX/TX) (rev 01)
		Subsystem: Unknown device 9850:0001

		Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 225
		Region 0: Memory at fdff0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]

dmesg output:

	lnxp-1115:~# egrep "CONFIG_ACENIC|CONFIG_VLAN" /boot/config-2.6.18-3-686
	CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q=m
	CONFIG_ACENIC=m
	# CONFIG_ACENIC_OMIT_TIGON_I is not set

Thats the default Debian Etch kernel. I have seen this behaviour in a couple kernel
releases since i started tracing stuff so its not a new bug.
