On that note, some wireless access points have the ability to convert multicast 
packets into unicast packets.  Both the Cisco and HP systems I have access to 
support this.

Believe it or not, it’s actually billed as an optimisation, as unicast packets 
generally use a faster modulation than multicast.  Makes sense, because if you 
send only one copy of a packet wirelessly, all devices (even the ones with the 
crappiest signals) need to be able to receive it reasonably reliably.

If that option is available to you, and if this is specific to multicast, this 
may be an interesting hack.
