It's on topic because he included that in his patch. :)

Oh well, iwi(4) receives multicast frames just fine, they are

discarded somewhere else though last time I've checked, another

offtopic issue ;)

I did look into this once for ipw it was I guess, the firmware

doesn't support filtering based on addresses so everything one

could achieve here is enable/disable filtering of all multicast

frames. Check iwi_configuration.enable_multicast_filtering, which

is a bool actually not an uint8_t.
