I'm experiencing some strange behavior with IP multicast in linux
2.6.0-test2 on a SiS900 NIC.

It will only receive multicast packets with destination address
239.1.1.*, unless I "ifconfig eth0 allmulti". With allmulti set, all
multcast addresses are received. Setting promisc mode also does the
trick.

This isn't the intended bahavior, is it?
