Hello,

I tried to use freevrrpd on an vlan interface and had trouble. 
When i change the MAC on the vlan interface i lost packets.
After restoring the MAC it works again. 
A simple test whith ifconfig and 3 ping-packets shows the problem.
After the first packet i have done 

# ifconfig vlan0 ether 0:0:5e:0:1:b0

and after the second back with

# ifconfig vlan0 ether 00:01:02:69:91:7c

The tcpdump on the parent interface is what i expect, but on the
vlan0 i missing one echo reply.
Whats wrong ? 


# tcpdump -eni xl0
tcpdump: WARNING: xl0: no IPv4 address assigned
