Well for the i82559, there is no API call to set up the multicast
address list. Maybe this is not actually needed. You could put the
device into promisc mode and receive everything, and then dump whats
not needed. Alternativly, the device may actually receive multicast
MAC addresses already and you just have to filter out whats
interesting?
