-Behaviour of cards under Multicast. This is how they currently 
-behave not what the hardware can do. In particular all the 8390 based
-cards don't use the onboard hash filter, and the lance driver doesn't
-use its filter, even though the code for loading it is in the DEC
-lance based driver.
-
-The following multicast requirements are needed
------------------------------------------------
-Appletalk	Multicast	hardware filtering not important but
-				 avoid cards only doing promisc
-IP-Multicast	Multicast	hardware filters really help
-IP-MRoute	AllMulti	hardware filters are of no help
-

-Board		Multicast	AllMulti	Promisc		Filter

-PROMISC = This multicasts mode is in fact promiscuous mode. Avoid using
-cards who go PROMISC on any multicast in a multicast kernel.
-(#) = Hardware multicast support is not used yet.
