Thanks Jason. This is an example that shows it can be done from userspace.
Roland, I think that the output below answers your question.


Before ip maddr show
-------------------------------
linux:/etc/sysconfig/network # ip m s dev ib0
9:      ib0
        link  00:ff:ff:ff:ff:12:60:1b:ff:ff:00:00:00:00:00:01:00:00:00:00
        link  00:ff:ff:ff:ff:12:40:1b:ff:ff:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00
        link  00:ff:ff:ff:ff:12:60:1b:ff:ff:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00
        inet  224.0.0.1
        inet6 ff02::1:ff96:ca05
        inet6 ff02::1

linux:/etc/sysconfig/network # ip maddr add 33:33:00:00:00:01 dev ib0
linux:/etc/sysconfig/network # ip m s dev ib0
