Hi Gareth,

I think you have already tried this one?

in /etc/network/interfaces:

1. declare 'base' device - that's the device, that 'transports' all vlans

auto eth2
iface eth2 inet static
        address 192.168.1.254
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.1.0
        broadcast 192.168.1.255

2. distribute the vlans onto their own devices:

auto vlan182
iface vlan182 inet static
        vlan_raw_device eth2
        address ...

(which maps vlan 182 to device vlan182)

and so on...
