VLAN connection drops after a few minutes with an Atheros AR8151 NIC

Considering you just told use that you have no VLAN-capable equipment on another thread - just what do you think you are you doing there?

I was pretty much tired before I forgot to proofread my post…

This mess does not seem to be exactly a matter of proof-reading.
it's hard to find a small 5-port Smart Switch with VLAN capabilities
You might want to have a look at http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/VLAN_Support#VLAN_Support_Tables
Other than that, I seriously cannot make sense of what you are trying to do there, starting from the VLAN/non-VLAN mix and ending with absolutely horrible IP space design that is an absolute PITA to understand, configure and maintain. On another note, stuff like 2001:2::/126 is not routable. The smallest IPv6 routable thing is /64
Finally, absolutely unclear why's this mess posted in DHCP/DNS section.

I'm planning to buy a router that has DD-WRT on it from eBay to use that as a VLAN device. Thanks for posting the link. I used to have a Linksys WRT54G router until it finally died; I'm planning to get a WRT54GL w/ DD-WRT on it, and set up the router to work with the VLANs

Good. So, meanwhile, I'd suggest to redesign things so that they are actually easy to understand and maintain. Such as
OPT1 - 10.10.1.0/24
OPT2 - 10.10.2.0/24
OPTx - 10.10.x.0/24for physical interfaces and say
VLAN1 - 10.100.1.0/24
VLAN2 - 10.100.2.0/24
…
VLANx - 10.100.x.0/24for the VLANs.
Of course, you can stay with the 172.16/12 private space, or use 192.168/16, however you certainly do not want to split one /24 into cryptic subnets such as ones in the OP.
Configure the DD-WRT box as an accesspoint, configure the VLANs there as needed (link above as starting point), set up DHCP server on the pfSense (V)LANs, pretty much ready to go.

Its actually REALLY REALLY difficult to do any testing/confirming before you get your managed switch. What I'd suggest is just do a whole lot of reading about VLANS, VLAN switches, pfsense and VLANS before you attempt to configure it or work it out on the forums. I'd restart into the forums again when you have the switch physically attached to pfsense. I'd also really consider getting an actual VLAN switch to use rather than using DD-WRT for its VLAN capability.
I really like DD-WRT also, but a good small 5 or 8 port cheapy managed switch just can't be beat.
Probably what the forum guys can help you do right now is select the best / cheapest switch for your needs.

Managed switches costs more in my area; it's hard to find one cheap on either Amazon.com or eBay.
I don't even know if the old 3Com 3C16671 switches would work or not; the switches are 10Base-T and I require a 100Base-Tx connection since my Xbox 360 requires 100Base-Tx for better throughput and better transfer rates.

Whats your area?
Whats your max price willing to pay?

Michigan and between $50-$60
The old 3Com 3C16670 12 port switch works okay, but I need to buy a null model 25-pin serial (male one side, female on the other side) connector, a 25-pin to 9-pin serial converter and a 6-foot null modem 9-pin serial cable so that I can apply a firmware upgrade to the switch and figure out how to configure the switch with my old computer.

Dpends on how willing you are to hunt a little and if willing to wait a week or so.
You can't have this one ;)
