[uClinux-dev] receive multicast ethernet frames on 5329

Hello again!

I am trying to receive multicast ethernet frames on the ColdFire 5329 
with linux version 2.6.17-uc0.

This is of course possible in promiscous mode, but i don?t want to 
receive all the traffic. If I set the flags IFF_ALLMULTI and 
IFF_MULTICAST the driver sets the hash table to receive all frames in 
set_multicast_list. But in fact no frames are received.
Can somebody tell me how to manage this problem. Do i have to set some 
more flags? Does somebody know a workaround?

How can i set my prefered multicast mac address in the hash table?
Thanks for any help!

Best regards

Christian
