I saw that too but this should be only relevant when using the new HW
filter.

Yes but i can't use that as gvrp is not working in this case. The kernel
does not announce gvrp continuously if you use another bridge on top of
the bond or eth.

Right now i'm trying to use the old variant as the new iproute2 package
is also only available in sid.
