It's on topic because he included that in his patch. :) Adrian Sent from my Palm Pre on AT&T On Mar 7, 2012 12:18 PM, Bernhard Schmidt <bschmidt@freebsd.org> wrot= e:=20 On Wednesday 07 March 2012 19:45:11 Adrian Chadd wrote: > Hi, >=20 > I'd rather you didn't commit iwi_update_mcast() unless you absolutely > know that the NIC doesn't need to be notified of multicast group > membership changes. If so, please commit that as a separate fix. Oh well, iwi(4) receives multicast frames just fine, they are discarded somewhere else though last time I've checked, another offtopic issue ;) > I'll look at iwi later and give you feedback on that particular change. I did look into this once for ipw it was I guess, the firmware doesn't support filtering based on addresses so everything one could achieve here is enable/disable filtering of all multicast frames. Check iwi_configuration.enable_multicast_filtering, which is a bool actually not an uint8_t. --=20 Bernhard
