Where is this MAC address coming from? You are aware that this is  an
address which will NOT work?

Did you see any packets on the wire?

And which one was this?

Given the fact that your hardware MAC address  is  illegal  (has  the
multicast  bit  set)  you  should not be surprised. I'm not sure what
your hardware does in such a situation.

I recommend to fix your MAC addresses first.

Patches have been posted on the list; see the archives.
