So far I have received 1 result for the above test request which indicated rt2500pci
wasn't harmed with this bug. However, latest rt2x00 has Adam's patch active for
all rt2x00 drivers (since the code is now handled in rt2x00mac.c).
So this means that that multicast bug should have no influence for this bug.
