On the i-chipset platform the "vman" is just a way to change the switches 
behaviour when it comes to "what is a vlan encapsulated packet".

So changing it to 0x9100, means the switch will L2 switch 0x8100 like any 
other packet, because it'll stop recognising standard .1q frames as being 
.1q encapsulated.
