On latest git, it became impossible to use hostname.local alias to
access my network hosts.
In fact when I look at 'avahi-discover' I see nothing but local
services.
I did a bisect, but unfortunely ended with merge commit, although
bisection seem to be normal (and I didn't do any shortcuts).
I own a iwl3945 wireless card.
The bisection log:

Since starting 'wireshark' magicly temporarly fixes this, I suspect that
mulicast packets don't get through.
This smells like iwl3945 bug.
I use linus' master tree now.
