Actually - one question: you're saying you're using different MAC
addresses on the VLAN devices, so I guess thats why you're expecting
the underlying device to still be in promiscous mode after you set
eth1.1025 down. For devices that support multiple unicast addresses
in hardware, we don't put the device in promiscous mode anymore.
So the question is: is something actually not working, or did you
just notice that the real device is no longer in promiscous mode?

It stopped working!  In the test setup I do have a machine connected to
eth1.1013, where I have a ping running, that stop working...

Found it in the bugreport :) OK, I'll try to reproduce it now.

I use the tg3 driver for both netcards. Don't know if it supports it?

The driver doesn't support it.
