Hello:

This patch was applied to netdev/net.git (main)

The broadcast_ether_dst test can spuriously fail due to file
permissions, depending on which flags tcpdump is compiled with: If
tcpdump is compiled with the `--with-user` flag then tcpdump will
step down to the provided user after opening the device. In this
case the test fails due to permission issues, as the output file
is owned by a different user.
Debian ships tcpdump with this flag enabled, so this bug
appears as part of our kernel testing.
