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. -- Bernhard
