Are these packets likely to address that situation (or am I just plain

No these patches deal with IPv6 multicast support in the bridge and
are not related to your problem.

If you're using the bridge for virtualisation and you know that
you don't have a loop in your setup, then one option would be to
disable STP on your bridge.

Hi,

I have disabled STP on the bridge; it doesn't change the behavior.
