I would rather suggest to simply remove the .ndo_set_multicast_list =
NULL line, and to not add the .ndo_set_rx_mode line. When using C99
structure initializers, the compiler guarantees you that all fields
that are not listed are initialized to zero, so all
those .something=NULL initializations are useless.
