I'm looking at nic's that support 802.1q for some xp laptops.
Pickings are pretty slim for non-wireless and reviews are mixed.

802.1q support (at least in most cases) only depends on NIC's drivers.
I don't use Windows, but I think that most of Windows NIC's drivers
should support 802.1q.

VLAN tagging at the workstations/laptops is not widely used. Why? Because
its easier to change the access VLAN on the switch than it is to reconfigure
the VLAN tag configured on the laptop. I've only seen it used on servers
where multiple network connections on different VLANs is required.

Maybe he want to configure router on the stick on his laptop/pc... don't
know what about Windows but with linux you can configure it with 5-10
commands from cli. Most of linux nic's drivers are already patched to
support 802.1q.

I work in a substation / comm tower environment, 3750 and 2900
switches, I'm running from site to site in the field. The core vlans
are vrf routed but there are dozens of different vlans I need to
access at different times. We also have issues with FERC / NERC CIP
regulations that limit what we can do.

I picked up a Netgear GA511 cardbus adapter. Most online info didn't
mention 802.x capabilities (neither does the box, just received it
today) but found the manual online and looks like it will work.
