That's interesting. The only difference is that now non steering filters (filters added by 'ip (m)addr', PACKET_ADD_MEMBERSHIP and the local MAC address, for example) do not have the QSEL bit set. On my tests I cannot detect any change in behaviour between those two versions of the series, for example. trying to add a filter for the local MAC address has no visible effect in both versions. (This raises a question: should this be an error, or should this override the default entry configuration, or this behaviour is fine?) Can you share more information about your tests? so I can reproduce it here. Thank you, -- Vinicius
