  1. Behaviour of Cards Under Multicast
  2. ==================================
  3. This is how they currently behave, not what the hardware can do--for example,
  4. the Lance driver doesn't use its filter, even though the code for loading
  5. it is in the DEC Lance-based driver.
  6. The following are requirements for multicasting
  7. -----------------------------------------------
  8. AppleTalk Multicast hardware filtering not important but
  9. avoid cards only doing promisc
  10. IP-Multicast Multicast hardware filters really help
  11. IP-MRoute AllMulti hardware filters are of no help
  12. Board Multicast AllMulti Promisc Filter

  53. PROMISC = This multicast mode is in fact promiscuous mode. Avoid using
  54. cards who go PROMISC on any multicast in a multicast kernel.
  55. (#) = Hardware multicast support is not used yet.
  56. (*) = Hardware support for Davicom 9132 chipset only.
