Subject: RTNL: assertion failed at net/core/dev.c (3961)

I'm running 2.6.31-rc4 on an i386 pc and got these two similar 
but different in cause assertion failures  on boot. Seems to be 
repeatable. I saw similar messages on a kernel around -rc3 but it had 
SIT troubles so I did not test more earlier rc-s.

This seems to be VLAN+IPv6 related, so some more info on the 
configurartion:

eth0 is plain ethernet, internal LAN, IPv6 address autoconfigured from 
external 6to4 address.

eth1 is ethernet, external interface. Dynamic IPv4, 6to4 tunnel is 
created automatically from it. Only link-local IPv6 on this 
interface. This is untagged, but it also carries VLAN 4 tagged.

eth1.4 is the VLAN on eth1 that carries iptv. Dynamic IPv4, only 
link-local IPv6.

eth2 is plain internal LAN, like eth0 - static IPv4, IPv6 from 6to4.

tun6to4 is sti tunnel for 6to4, cofigured from eth1's IP.

eth0 and eth1 are 8139too, eth2 is uli526x.
