In general this means you have to set the multicast addresses twice to get the behaviour you want. If we were multicasting, and reduce the number of addresses we are multicasting to, then the driver would write uninitialised data from the stack into the group addresses to multicast to. Only write the multicast addresses we have specifically set. Signed-off-by: David Kilroy Signed-off-by: John W.
