No, it's not an "ability" of the driver ... that is the MULTICAST flag.

	- MULTICAST: The interface is capable of receiving multicast
	  traffic.

	- ALLMULTI: The interface is currently configured to receive
	  all multicast traffic on the wire.  If this flag is not
	  set (it is only set by the driver, never by the user),
	  then the interface may be (usually is) configured to receive
	  one or more individual multicast addresses.
