Isn't this too late right now at 4.1-rc8 stage???

At least the patch suggested for br_device.c at

http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=143435960111768&w=2

would been necessary in all networking drivers, right?

I currently see this @NONE stuff with virtual CAN devices too.

ps. will apply the patch from Nicolas if it fixes the ip output.
