Cool. Wrap it up in bootverbose. Hm, or what about a print_once kind of thing?
As far as I can briefly tell, the drivers -should- work with multicast as long as they're treating it like broadcast traffic and not requiring that you program a multicast filter for specific link-local things. The problem is that noone has gone through and verified that is indeed the case. -a On 24 June 2014 11:01, Warren Block <[email protected]> wrote: > On Tue, 24 Jun 2014, Sean Bruno wrote: > >> On Sat, 2014-06-21 at 12:47 -0700, Adrian Chadd wrote: >>> >>> Well, it depends on what the hardware may want or desire to function >>> correctly.
