Sigh. Why did you not say something like: The mask is provided as '0x3f0' in the listing, but I had expected 0xfc0f, as only 6 bits should be cleared, but the mask KEEPS 6 bits. It would have saved me a headache figuring out bug you refer to. I am not a mind reader :-/ Use --debug=netlink, it looks like its a display bug. I'll have a look.
