Which version of the driver are you running? Is this with Peter Wemm's
MULTICAST mods in -current?  

I haven't had much time to devote to this lately, but I promised
jrb@cs.pdx.edu and miff@spam.frisbee.net.au to also test the Multicasting
mods that Peter Wemm added to the original miff driver. Looks like you
beat me too it.

Also, I have yet another version of the driver that supports the 2.4 Ghz.
half-height with EEPROM/daughter card. Should test those so that miff can
comit them soon.
