And, oh btw, the zp0 also doesn't support multicast either on an 3c589d. Yes,
there is no MULTICAST tag on the zp0 iface. *grumble*
I am very happy to see that show up on the ep0 iface, though.
I guess I will have to really dig into the pccard stuff to get a native Mbone
feed onto my FreeBSD desktop. Please keep this thread going and let us know
how exactly this is resolved. Thanks...

Chris
