Joonwoo,
 
Yes, it was related to a locking problem when I wanted to have the interfaces in promiscuous mode. It looks so that the dev_set_promiscuity function (in net/core/dev.c) requires the calling thread to hold rtnl mutex by calling rtnl_lock(), so I added this to anydevice.cc with the corresponding rtnl_unlock(). This eliminated the assertion problem I had. So far I haven't experienced any other problems with the patches yet. (By the way, I didn't get the patch you mentioned above.)
 
Cheers,
Norbert
