Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Sender: owner-freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Last October a couple of messages - and - were posted to the "freebsd-mobile" mailing list, outlining a problem with the "wi" driver not receiving multicast in 'all-multicast-packets' mode. To quote: "The wi driver does not receive multicast packets when set to receive all multicast packets, ie. when running mrouted. Well that is except if I am turning on promiscuous mode" Has anyone looked into this problem at all since then? (I'd take a crack at this myself, except that I'm not a "wi" driver expert...) Ross.
