> root@...ian:~# bridge mdb
> dev br0 port eth1 grp 239.0.0.1 permanent
> root@...ian:~# bridge mdb del dev br0 port eth1 grp 239.0.0.1 permanent

> After patch:
> root@...ian:~# bridge mdb add dev br0 port eth1 grp 239.0.0.1 permanent
> root@...ian:~# bridge mdb
> dev br0 port eth1 grp 239.0.0.1 permanent
