I have done some more twiddling around with the problem I'm having with the
if_sk driver with a built-in 3com 940 Gig-e adapter.

Basically the problem is that dhclient times out and I end up with an address of
0.0.0.0 when I boot the machine. I've found that if I remove IFF_MULTICAST from
line 1473 of that driver, recompile the kernel, and reboot, dhcp suddenly works
right.

Another thing I noticed is that every time an IP is added to the interface with
multicast enabled, the link goes down, and typing a subsequent ifconfig shows
"No carrier" for a few seconds. I don't see this behavior on any other ethernet
card (I have several fxp, xl, and de type 10/100 cards). So basically I think
there's some kind of problem with the sk_setmulti() function in the sk driver.
Either that or the 3com 940 card is just wonky.

Anyway, this is what I've found, so hopefully someone can do something with this
info.
