If it's an issue with the kernel changing the way it handles VLAN tags -
i.e., whether it leaves them in the packet data, so that the filter code
in the kernel sees them as part of the packet data, or whether it
removes them and puts them into metadata that has to be tested specially
by a BPF program - then a new version of libpcap *could* help, as
libpcap was recently changed to deal with that problem.
