Actually, multicast works perfectly until astromech or other laptop gets disconnected and reconnects later to the network under certain (undetermined) circumstances. It seems multicast crashes on Madwifi drivers.
I created this script on the AP to fix multicast by killing the network interface and bringing it up again: #!/bin/bash sudo invoke-rc.d hostapd stop sudo ifdown ath0 sudo sleep 5 sudo ifup ath0 sudo invoke-rc.d hostapd start sudo brctl addif br0 ath0 After I run this, multicast works again for some time, maybe even for a few days until it dies again. There may be some way to tell the kernel to reset multicast for the wireless interface without shutting it down.
