The reason, it turns out, is that the code previously checked if ALLMULTI _changed_, which the new code no longer did, and normally it _never_ changes. Had somebody changed it manually, the code prior to my patch there would have been broken already. The reason is that we always, unconditionally, ask the device to pass up all multicast frames, but the new code made it depend on ALLMULTI which broke it since now we'd pass up multicast frames depending on the default filter in the device, which isn't necessarily what we want (since we don't program it right now). Fix this by simply not checking allmulti as we have allmulti behaviour enabled already anyway.
