NOTE: sorry I'm not on the port-sparc list.

	I have got a trouble report regarding to multicast packets toward
	"hme" driver (SparcStation 5-170).  It looks to me
	- when !IFF_PROMISC, hme driver does not accept multicast packets
	  even if we join the multicast group.
	- when IFF_PROMISC, all packets will be passed to the upper layer
	  and we can accept multicast packets.

	Now, I'm very curious if this is an IPv6 problem or not.  Are there
	anybody have success experience in running IPv4 (or some other layer 3)
	multicast application over hme driver?

	PR # is 9909.  I also got the same report independently from this one.
