Last October a couple of messages - 
<http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=109151+0+archive/2001/freebsd-mobile/20011021.freebsd-mobile> 
and 
<http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=137312+0+archive/2001/freebsd-mobile/20011021.freebsd-mobile> 
- were posted to the "freebsd-mobile" mailing list, outlining a problem 
with the "wi" driver not receiving multicast in 'all-multicast-packets' mode.

To quote: "The wi driver does not receive multicast packets when set to 
receive all multicast packets, ie. when running mrouted. Well that is 
except if I am turning on promiscuous mode"

Has anyone looked into this problem at all since then?  (I'd take a crack 
at this myself, except that I'm not a "wi" driver expert...)
