HTH,

Thank you very much for the ebtables hint.

I also tried to add the vlan to my bridge device but only droping the vlan
tagged paket with ebtables got it working.

I'm not sure if this is the wanted behavior for bridging vlan actions.
..or my network setup is just to ..f%%%'ed up?!

It should work even without ebtables (running vlan on top of bridge,
not side by side).  I'll try to look at this in the next couple of
days.
