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), 
but for some reason system is not responding.

Can you provide Jeff or anybody else a name of NIC that is capable
to support multiple unicast MAC addresses?

One more question is it possible to deactivate MAC filter
on NIC so that I will receive everything (no matter if this will be efficient 
or not)
and pass it to L3 routines? I tried to set NIC into promisc mode:
"ip l set dev eth0 promisc on"
but it looks like even with having promisc mode enabled system is not 
responding.


Thanks,
