Yes it is wrong, sorry for the waste of time.
In the old version of ipconfig there were a line

!(dev->flags & (IFF_LOOPBACK | IFF_POINTOPOINT)) &&

which I was used to patch (by hand) to

!(dev->flags & IFF_LOOPBACK) &&

I confused the first line with

(dev->flags & (IFF_POINTOPOINT|IFF_BROADCAST)) &&

and wrongly patched it to

(dev->flags & (IFF_POINTOPOINT))

Don't apply this patch!
