Thanks -- my driver does implement SET_MC_LIST and SET_MC_ALL, so I
wasn't asking how to implement them.
I was asking what is required of an Ethernet driver that asserts
CYGINT_IO_ETH_MULTICAST. My _guess_ was that CYGINT_IO_ETH_MULTICAST
implied implementation of SET_MC_LIST and SET_MC_ALL. But, I couldn't
find that documented anywhere, and one extant driver I looked at
(ppc405) appears to contractict my initial guess.
NB: Since you're not actually using multicast it doesn't really
matter, but you might want to check the length of the address list
being passed to MC_LIST. The CAM only has room for a total of 21
addresses, so if the list is longer than 20, a good workaround is
to to discard the list and just set the GROUP_ACC bit in CAMCON.
IOW, treat MC_LIST w/ >20 addresses as if it were MC_ALL.
