mutli cast is not enabled in fec.c

mutli cast is not enabled in fec.c

[Rod Boyce]

We are using Linux kernel 2.2.14 downloaded from Wolfgang's ftp web site.  I
believe that the kernel originally came from the Hard Hat distribution.  We
are looking at enabling RIP and / or OSPF routing in our product and I have
been asked why code in the function 'set_multicast_list' as been #ifdef'ed
out?  I am at a loss to know why so I though I would ask you guys why?

So can anybody tell me why a largish portion of the code has been
effectively commented out in this function.  I suggested to the developer
that he enables it and see what happens but I also was wondering if there is
another reason?

The code was originally written by me, long before MontaVista existed.

The multicast was not done because as you can see I stole the code from
the SCC driver and the FEC doesn't have the same function as CPM devices.
There has recently been a post on this mailing list that includes a patch
for a software CRC to implement this feature.

Thanks.
