Doing research on another problem, I noticed that this would break user mode spanning tree (RSTP) code. The daemon assumes that bridge is promicious mode and therefore will receive all link-level multicast packets.
Just took another look at RSTP code and I see that's its using a packet socket with filter to catch STP frames. Would setting IFF_ALL_MULTI solve the problem? STP packets are all multicast. Thanks -vlad
