Re: patches for if_iwi and wlan for WEP mode

It's on topic because he included that in his patch. :)

&gt; I'd rather you didn't commit iwi_update_mcast() unless you absolutely

&gt; know that the NIC doesn't need to be notified of multicast group

&gt; membership changes. If so, please commit that as a separate fix.

Oh well, iwi(4) receives multicast frames just fine, they are

discarded somewhere else though last time I've checked, another

offtopic issue ;)

&gt; I'll look at iwi later and give you feedback on that particular change.

I did look into this once for ipw it was I guess, the firmware

doesn't support filtering based on addresses so everything one

could achieve here is enable/disable filtering of all multicast

frames. Check iwi_configuration.enable_multicast_filtering, which

is a bool actually not an uint8_t.
