Hey guys ( Wes and asun specifically :)

Looking through the Linux source (as of 2.1.131 at least), I found:

linux/drivers/net/3c507.c:
427: dev->flags&=~IFF_MULTICAST; /* Multicast doesn't work */

If his hardware doesn't support multicast, does it have a hope of running
atalkd? As I understand EtherTalk, it *requires* hardware multicasting.

Anyone know better than I do?
