Comment:

 The libertas driver supports the standard wake-on-lan configuration via
 ethtool. You can enable wake on multicast (as well as unicast) as follows:
 {{{
 ethtool -s eth0 wol um
 }}}

 I'm not sure if that makes it wake on _all_ multicast packets, or only the
 ones which it was configured to listen to with the CMD_MAC_MULTICAST_ADR
 command. If the former, that should be filed as a firmware bug.
