we have a microvax 1 running ultrix 1.1. We want the DEQNA driver to
accept multicast packets, but the board initialization software in the
driver seems not to do this. The code has some IOCTLs to enable multicasting
but we don't see a good place to call them from. The documentation for IFCONFIG
does not mention multicasting. Can anybody provide a clue short of massive
hacking of the driver (sys/vaxif/if_qe.c) code. Our early version of 
(sys/vaxif/if_qereg.c) seems not to have multicasting constants in it either,
but the comments in the driver code do mention multicasting.

thanks in advance
