Hi Alessio, it is my understanding that the "ALLMULTI" tag will only
show up in the output of "ip link" or "ifconfig" if the kernel has
directly requested the driver to enter that mode (e.g. via "ifconfig
oob_net0 allmulti").  If the kernel configures the oob_net0 interface to
have more multicast MAC addresses than supported in hardware but has not
directly configured ALLMULTI mode (as in your example above this
comment), the driver will set its interface into ALLMULTI mode
internally to implement the proper filtering but the "ALLMULTI" tag will
not be shown in the output of "ifconfig oob_net0".  I believe the driver
should not set ALLMULTI bit in "netdev->flags" in this case.
