Hello Ben,

Thank you for the reply!

I wrote initial message as information about problems with Intel 82574L and 
DGS-1105 co-operation. Just, it's frequently used devices. Also, I don't found 
any solution in the Internet. Nothing else. Maybe include this workaround to 
any how-to, or special "workarounds guide"...

Minimum frame length is 64 bytes. The switch removing VLAN tag, and then check 
remain part as ordinal Ethernet frame, and dropping 60-bytes frame as invalid. 
I can't change the switch logic, but can make workaround.

Maybe I chose the wrong mailing list.
