well that was actually my first thought and also my first approach to
bridge the two vlans. I've tried various combinations of configuration,
interfaces configured as vlans and bridging between vlan0 and vlan1,
interfaces unconfigured(just up) and bridging between fxp0 and xl0.
Enabled and disabled the Spanning Tree of the switch, Configured the
bridge ports as vlan trunks and disabled it again and so on.
That is why I came to the question if it is possible at all with the
switch I am using.

3com SuperStack II Desktop Switch

My next try will be to replace the 3com 3c905 network card.

Still, any comments are very welcome. Maybe I'm to blind to see a
trivial solution to the problem.
