Heyas,

VLAN 802.11q trunking might work nicely

It works obviously on a manged swithc and i suspec titd work on a hub,... not sure about a normal switchj tho

Maybe someone else knows....

modprobe 8021q
vconfig add eth0 39
ifconfig eth0.39 <blah>

You also end up with some MTU issues tho because an extra 4 bytes is added to the packet
the intel (eepro100) driver in linux doesnt support it but the intel open source 'e100' driver does
I have no idea or any other network cards

vconfig is in ther vlan tools debian package
