Subject: [PATCH 05/24] rt2x00: never disable multicast because it disables broadcast too
Date: Sun, 9 Mar 2008 22:40:40 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200803092240.41033.IvDoorn@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <200803092237.43451.IvDoorn@gmail.com>

From: Adam Baker <linux@baker-net.org.uk>

On rt73 and rt61 disabling reception of multicast packets also disables
broadcast traffic which we never want to do. Therefore we should never
disable multicast.
