Why is this code messing with the VLANs? The patch description says it
is enabling multicast and the MTA but it is messing with the VFTA
table as well. That is probably what broke the VLANs.

I don't see the bits to support ndo_vlan_rx_[add|kill]_vid and without
that it will break VLANs since the driver is filtering them unless
promiscuous filtering is enabled. The VLAN changes should be moved
into a separate patch.
