Normally the ports on the switch are set to access mode, and therefore the VLAN tag is stripped off.
Set the port, you span to, to trunk mode.

Could you add this information to the CaptureSetup/VLAN page on the Ethereal Wiki:

	http://wiki.ethereal.com/CaptureSetup_2fVLAN

Indicate which switches it applies to.

A note about it (and a reference to the CaptureSetup/VLAN page) might also belong on the

	http://wiki.ethereal.com/CaptureSetup_2fEthernet

which is the page that talks about monitor ports on switches.
