How to identify if NIC supports VLAN ID

I am planning to setup Hyper-V but I want to know if my NIC supports VLAN IDs. It seems to support VLAN and Priority (not sure what Priority is) as this is available Device Adapters > Relevant NIC > Advanced > Priority & VLAN, and to make things harder, the name of the NIC is Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter, even in EVEREST, so I can't trace the settings and there is no OEM setting (Dell's support site doesn't help).

"""Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter"" is your wireless card. the intel 10/100 device is your ethernet card.

Any ethernet card made in the last 10 years will support vlans(all that is physically required is the ability to deal with 1522 byte frames)

As for actually using it, I have no idea how vlans are configured on Windows, but your hardware definitely supports it."
