Hello,

I've just manage to make it work with Neutron ML2 / Linuxbridge / VLAN 
provider networks.
The only drawback is that you have to pre-create portGroups with the 
names of the linux bridges created on the compute node / network node.
You also have to create a trunk portGroup br-int, with promiscuous, 
transmit forge and MAC modification accepted.
This is where you connect the VLAN interface of your network node.

It's a bit condensed, but now you know it's possible !

PS:
There a ML2 mechanism driver : vmware_dvs that should ease this, 
creating the portgroups, but :
- It's not packages on Ubuntu cloud archive
- I didn't manage to make it work. I had errors creating some access 
policies...
