Description

That's what dmesg says, seems something unexpected is happening inside linux kernel bridge/vlan/batman-adv code, they should investigate better what's happening, but seems someone pushing for this is needed.

here is a sample output of dmesg

We cannot fix this bug without breaking linux networking stack, as VLAN and base network interface must have same MAC address
