commit 12aa343add3eced38a44bdb612b35fdf634d918c Author: Jorge Boncompte [DTI2] Date: Tue Feb 19 14:17:04 2008 -0800 [NET]: Messed multicast lists after dev_mc_sync/unsync Commit a0a400d79e3dd7843e7e81baa3ef2957bdc292d0 ("[NET]: dev_mcast: add multicast list synchronization helpers") from you introduced a new field "da_synced" to struct dev_addr_list that is not properly initialized to 0. So when any of the current users (8021q, macvlan, mac80211) calls dev_mc_sync/unsync they mess the address list for both devices. The attached patch fixed it for me and avoid future problems.
