VLAN won't pick up IP via DHCP

However, wouldn't it be possible to write a startupscript that put the interface in promisc mode on startup? :)

Yes. However I expect it would be rather quicker for me to configure a bridge as suggested, check the interface is in promiscuous mode, reboot, check the interface is in promiscuous mode than it would be to write the script, work out how to invoke it safely, reboot, check it gets invoked correctly and not too early in the startup, check it won't get overwritten by a firmware upgrade etc.  Hence I would try the bridge idea first and have the startup script as a fall back. Also the bridge idea gets backed up with the configuration file, the startup script probably doesn't.

Good point.
