Date: Mon, 24 Mar 1997 16:24:39 PST > (SIOCADDMULTI and SIOCDELMULTI has a comment that says "they are > unsupported") The comment says that programmable filters aren't supported. Since there is always at least one group membership (224.0.0.1) on each interface, the ep driver doesn't bother keeping track of specific group memberships; it just configures the card to receive all multicast.
