The -current driver just sort of lets you set yourself in the multicast group, but doesn't seem to tell the arp tables that the multicast ip should be treated as a multicast ip. Hence, I get "host down" errors when I try and send multicast udp packets out and the arp timer goes off on my multicast ip address. I tried to look at the way if_ed.c handles this, but my changes didn't solve the problem. I don't think this affects the stability of the driver, but the functionality is incorrect, isn't it? I mean, you shouldn't send arp packets on a multicast address, should you?
