>Description:
The bug exists for a while already, it's probably related to import of new ARP/lltable code.

If interface has more than one ip addressed assigned and interface ether (MAC) addresses is changed entries in ARP table are not properly updated. It happens because ARP tables are updated lazily but not on mac address change and all entries but one are always missed.
