Hm, it has worked for me in the past, and your patch fixes it so it
works again (at least as well as it ever did).

I still get constant complaints of 'eth1: duplicate address detected'
due to the fact that it sees its own outgoing packets, and IPv6 doesn't
work.

Then when unloading the module I get...

bcm43xx_mac80211: Radio turned off
Freeing alive inet6 address c1cefc80
unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth1 to become free. Usage count = 2


... and I have to reboot before anything related to networking works
again. When I unload the module from X rather than from a vt, the
machine sometimes locks up hard -- which I suspect is a different
problem, but I have no clue what.
