Bug Description

I updated the kernel from linux-image-3.2.0-69-generic to linux-image-3.13.0-37-generic on Precise and the macvlan interface didn't work anymore. I changed the kernel to linux-image-3.11.0-15-generic and it begins work again.

Also I installed a new Trusty on other server and it doesn't work neither.

I set this interface on the servers because these servers are LXC hosts and I want to connect the host servers with the lxc guest servers (they are configured with macvlans interfaces).

I have these settings on the /etc/network/interfaces:

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
 up ifconfig eth0 up
 down ifconfig eth0 down

auto macvlan0
iface macvlan0 inet static
 pre-up ip link add link eth0 name macvlan0 address 06:00:a:3:3:3 type macvlan mode bridge
 post-down ip link delete macvlan0
 address 10.0.3.3
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 10.0.3.0
        broadcast 10.0.3.255
        gateway 10.0.3.1
 dns-nameservers 10.0.3.1

I tried to debug the issue by using dmesg and checking the logs, but I didn't find any clue what is happening. I tried to find a bug about this issue, but I didn't have luck with that.
