Hi Mugunthan,

though this patch fixes drop packets issue, it introduces another
issue. Just connect both interfaces to one switch and configure
different subnets. As soon as you get a broadcast you have an endless
loop and network communication is not possible at all. Before this
patch you could operate as if you had really two independent NICs.
