Comment(by ashish):

 Replying to [comment:6 dwmw2]:
 > This patch doesn't do the right thing when both ethX and mshX interfaces
 are in use, does it?
 The basic stuff worked when we used both ethx and mshx interfaces at the
 same time.

 We need to combine the desired addresses on _both_ interfaces, and listen
 for all of them. And honour the ALLMULTI and PROMISC flags if they're set
 on either interface.

 Agree.
