Subject: Multicast with 3com 3c509...

Is there multicast support for the 3Com 3C509? I can't seem to get it to
work. Output from ifconfig as follows:

ep0: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX> mtu 1500

I have another FreeBSD machine with an NE2000 clone in it which seems to
work fine:

ed0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

Am I doing something dumb? Linux seems to support multicasting on the 3c509
ok so I imagine it is possible.

cheers
