</div>Theoretically we go into ALLMULTI mode (and filter on the host) when we<br>
exceed the size of the multicast list that the device can handle. There<br>
shouldn't be a hard limit on the number of multicast groups that<br>
userspace can join; it just gets less efficient.</blockquote><div><br>In this case, it seems a bad choice to compromise buffer space in exchange of an improbable scenario (sharing more than 4 activities over a simple mesh).<br>

<br>
However, we believe that size to be 32 (MRVDRV_MAX_MULTICAST_LIST_SIZE<br>
in defs.h).</blockquote><div><br>Mmm, if the driver says it is 32 and the firmware only allows for 8, we have a problem, don't we? ;-)<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
