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!
