I reviewed a Becker version of rtl8139.c and found the issue.  I did it
wrong ;-)

So, multicast is now confirmed to exist in:

Driver	Version		Confirmed By
--------	----------	-------------------
3c509		5.3			Tim Legge
3c515		5.2			Tim Legge
3c90x		5.2			Eric Biederman and Tim Legge
eepro100	5.2			Eric Biederman and Tim Legge
rtl8139	5.3			Tim Legge
sundance	5.2 cvs		Tim Legge
tlan		5.2 cvs		Tim Legge

For now, I am leaving the code in 5.3.  The changes to the drivers are
minor and have tested Ok with tftp, but I would feel better if a few
people tested it.  I don't particularly relish being known as the guy
who broke all the drivers in 5.2.  

Ken, should we #ifdef the multicast code in 5.2 with ALLMULTI?

Left on my list are:

1) tulip
2) ns8390 (Are those cards even capable)
2) via-rhine
3) pcnet32

Of those, only the tulip and ns8390 seems to be working correctly (at
least for me) in 5.3 so I will need to dig into a couple of them.  Did
some one report issues with the via-rhine with a rev A3-1 DLink
DFE-530TX?

And last of all, has anyone else noticed the delay on the list?

Tim
