Hi,

there are a lot of people waiting for this because they emulate
Juniper routers.

I already sent a patch (eepro100: Fix multicast support)
to the QEMU developer mailing list.

The patch is based on another patch (eepro100: Restructure code)
which I have already sent two times.

It seems to be extremely difficult to get these patches
integrated. Maybe your mail helps to speed up the process.
Therefore I send my reply to the list and to the responsible, too.

Regards,
