Hey,

Is it intentional that in the case where set_rx_mode is assigned, you
still need to assign set_multicast_list even if it won't ever be called
as a flag for SIOCADDMULTI?

I was thinking of converting the wireless code to use set_rx_mode and
assign set_multicast_list only if the underlying hardware supports
multicast filtering, and it seems that is well-supported, but it does
seem a bit weird that set_multicast_list degrades to a flag.
