Broadcom VLAN Tagging
I have an Inspiron 700m with a Broadcom 440x 10/100 nic running Windows XP Pro SP2. I've loaded the Broadcom Control Suite program from Dell, which provides a control panel applet to manage and diagnose the NIC. When you right click on the NIC there are options for adapter teaming and to do VLAN tagging, but the options are greyed out.
I need to be able to do VLAN tagging with this nic under Windows. I have tried loading the latest drivers from Broadcom. Broadcom also mentions an "Advanced Control Suite" software and an "Advanced Server Program" (both of which they claim will run on XP) which will allow you to create VLANs. This software is not available for download from Broadcom, and Dell only has the standard Control Suite software.
How can I get this card to tag VLAN packets?

i don't have a computer with that chipset nearby, but, I would suggest running the latest broadcom drivers as you're doing I assume. if you don't see an option in the device configuration page to turn on vlan tagging, I'd say you're out of look (look in the device configuration options, not in the advanded suite).
FYI, my intel and realtek chipsets nearby support this feature and all are enabled directly from the driver/device config page -- no optional proset software needed ;p
good luck -- worst case buy a pcmcia nic -- you can get a base1000 one from newegg (realtek chipset) for under $20

hmm ... maybe I'm misremembering or maybe it's different for the pro1000s ... either way, I'll check my intel card at home tonight (not that it really helps you).
and i'm out of my league here, having never actually setup a vlan (although if I ever find a cheap managed gigabit switch on ebay I might consider).
