It is likely a problem with broken multicast support.

This sounds even more likely to be broken multicast support.  Do you see
the proper behavior if you enable allmulti on your interface, rather
than promiscuous mode?

A driver bug could be what's causing multicast not to work.  That's
probably most likely, though there also could be a problem with
hardware.
