 This patch appears to be broken.
 
 We have a dynamips / dynagen setup with 40 * Cisco 7200 routers.  The core
 router is configured to attach to our local real network using
 nio_gen_eth:re0.
 
 In this configuration, with the patch, huge amounts of duplicate packets
 are generated by dynamips flooding the local lan.
 
 With the gen_eth.c patch removed, all is good again, except you can't ping
 the dynamips routers from the host machine.
 
 Regards
 
 Paul.
