I don't know of NICs that would support this.
Many NICs support multiple unicast MAC addresses, we even
have driver APIs for this in the Linux kernel.
Hi David,
Can you please explain about which API you mean?

I've tried also with intel NIC (e100 driver) result is the same.
Unicast MAC address was added to multicast cache,
but I cannot ping system from remote machine with static MAC entry.
On tcpdump output I can see arriving frames with correct address
(the unicast one I addes to multicast filter),

If you see them in tcpdump without promic mode, then the card was receiving
them correctly and passing them to the network stack.

Hello,
I'm working on a little security project in which
Are you sure your hardware will support this?
Most of the MACs I've worked with will receive frames destined to a
single station address and can be configured to hash the addresses of
frames received with MAC multicast addresses and do a lookup of the
hash
in a bit table to determine
