Date: Sat, 18 Nov 1995 01:21:04 -0800 Organization: Live Networks, Inc. Lines: 11 Message-ID: <finlayson-1811950121040001@hokianga.live.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: hokianga.live.com From browsing the source code (in the 2.1.0-951104-SNAP snapshot), I notice that the 3COM 3C509B driver (/usr/src/sys/i386/isa/if_ep.c) does not support multicast addressing. In particular, the code doesn't set the IFF_MULTICAST flag, nor does it handle the SIOCADDMULTI ioctl. Is there a good reason for this? Is there a version of this driver code out there that handles multicast? If not, could I likely get the driver to work by copying appropriate code from the if_ed.c driver (which, unlike if_ep.c, *does* seem to support multicast)? Ross.
