    Another option instead of using VLANs is to enable port security. This
    of course depends on it being supported by your switch, for Cisco, see
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps628/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a00800d84c2.html#xtocid3
    for example.
    You simply enable it on all your ports, and leave all the users on the
    same VLAN. This would also get around any issues with VLANs on the em
    driver.

    Hope that's of some help.

    On a sidenote, you shouldn't have any issues pushing 100mbit through
    that system with good cards like Intels. I have a Celeron 1.3 here that
    routes 100mbit traffic no problem.
