One thing that is worth noting: I found a bug in the ... veth code, I
think, where it wouldn't pass a multicast packet through.  The code
checked with the 'is_broadcast' flag, for a matching mac, and assumed
that anything else was not for this host.

Perhaps this is a similar issue?  I can try to dig out the fault report
if it helps, but at the time it was simply changing is_broadcast to
include an is_multicast test on the Ethernet MAC.

Regards,
        Daniel

I hope that actually helps. :)
