You don't, the zp driver doesn't support multicast.

The output of the command 'ifconfig -a' is as follows : > > /kernel : ze0 : device timeout. isr=03, imr=9f, imask=0000 The NoteWorthy is not compatible with the ze driver, which is for IBM CreditCard Ethernet adapters. I would suggest enabling the laptop PCCARD options in the kernel and rc.conf. This will enable some extended functinality in power management and a more robust pccard handling system (which can support pccard modems).
