It would seem that host2 (192.168.5.254) responds okay to the initial SYN > with a SYN/ACK. host1 (192.168.5.1) then sends some data and host2 then correctly ACKs this. > But then host2 starts sending packets which have the first 10 bytes stripped! > > I don't know why host2 is sending these packets.

The vlan code in 2.4.4 is probably crufty as hell...it was not even officially in the kernel untill 2.4.15 or so... If you really need to use a kernel that old, I'd back-port the VLAN code from the latest 2.4 kernel.
