It needs to be set before the interface's driver is loaded and IPv4 is attached to the interface. Do you have any unusual ARP table entries or routing setup? That would be where to look next. There haven't been any other reports of this issue as far as I know. The IGMP code does not fill out the Ethernet address field -- it leaves it up to ip_output() to do that. Do you see this with other multicast traffic, or just IGMP reports? thanks, BMS
