Ouch, my bad!  Will look into how to let this have as little impact as
possible.  I like your semantics there, promisc should always win.

Of course, thanks!

OK, will fix!

Interesting, you mean by speculatively setting local_rcv = true and
postpone the decsion to br_pass_frame_up(), right?  Yeah that would
indeed be a bit more work.
