I searched the code and found that this is coming from the null_update_mcast function in /sys/net80211/ieee802.c To get rid of this notification will require updating the iwi and ndis drivers to seperate multicast update and promisc update into seperate functions: ic->ic_update_mcast = null_update_mcast; ic->ic_update_promisc = null_update_promisc; : /* * Synchronize flag bit state in the parent ifnet structure * according to the state of all vap ifnet's. This is used, * for example, to handle IFF_PROMISC and IFF_ALLMULTI. */ void ieee80211_syncifflag_locked(struct ieee80211com *ic, int flag) This is to allow the ieee80211_syncifflag_locked function to update the parent ifnet structure. Search the other wireless drivers (i.e ath) on how the conversion was made. Scot
