Hi all 

Does anybody manage to make netgraph node to do VLAN multiplexing ?

Yes, I know, freebsd kernel have now supporting for VLAN's
(pseudo-device vlan), but it have number of disadvantages:
 - fixed number of vlan interfaces 
 - vlanX pseudo-interfaces don't support netgraph'ing, so I can't 
   bridge two VLANs using ng_bridge
 - fixed vlanX interfaces numbering, so if I want use VLANs from 320
   to 340, so I can use interfaces vlan0 - vlan20, but if I use VLANs
   with ID's 1-20 it will be confusing. If I want interface names
   vlan320-vlan340, I need to specify in kernel 340 vlan interfaces.
   But contrary in netgraph scheme I can name interface connected to
   802dotQ node hook vlan320 as, for example, vlan340 without any problem.
