It depends on the host on which your sniffer is running.
If you are using Windows PC, I know it works fine with the Intel Pro
NIC card with their (Intel) drivers.
I remember, one person at work had the same problem.
This problem could be because of a driver issue or the
NIC itself. Some drivers REMOVE dot1q tags.
Try to see if there are any driver updates availabe for your NIC card.

Thanks
