 I'm not sure of what br0.100 is supposed to mean.  br0 is not a 100%
 compatible ethernet device.  (See below.)

 restart should bring them down in the reverse order they were brought
 up I suppose.

 So, does this mean that you would like to do 802.1Q on eth0 and eth1,
 bridge the 802.1Q traffic, and have a per vlan interface on your host
 that sees normal Ethernet traffic?

 This seems a bit weird to me.

 What I could imagine is:
 - eth0 and eth1 have 802.1Q traffic
 - you have eth0.100, eth0.200, eth1.100, eth1.200 with normal Ethernet
   traffic
 - you bridge eth0.100 with eth1.100 in br0, and eth0.200 and eth1.200
   in br1

 This achieves the same result, but with a per VLAN bridge.

 Is anything making you prefer bridging of 802.1Q?  Didn't you have any
 trouble with your setup?

   Bye,
