My experience with ethernet cards and drivers is that if they don't have multicast capability, they map MAC addresses with the group bit

Yep but about the transmitter that _does_ have the multicast capability and the receiver that does not have the multicast capability.
On the receive side, these cards would go into promiscuous receive mode and then filter at the device driver.
Yes but what about cards that can't go into promiscuous receive mode. I understand that promiscuous mode is probably the easiest way for a card to do, but from my experience not all cards can do promiscuous mode.
