seems to work fine for me... aren't you sure that the problem
is not in the ethernet card ? I have heard that some cards have problems
in the programming of the multicast filter.

Second thing, you can try to set

	sysctl -w net.inet.icmp.bmcastecho=1

to see if the box responds to the multicast address. For sure this
influences how the box responds to pings to tue subnet broadcast address.
