I'm not sure why you think you need to enable VLAN's on a NIC, or for that matter, add a VLAN tag to the card.

If the port on the switch you're plugged into is tagged, then that tag will be added to all traffic coming from your interface by the switch.

Perhaps there is a specific reason for wanting to do what you're asking. If so, please explain so I can understand.
