An increase is scheduled to be implemented in firmware version 22.p11 or later depending on other priorities.<br>But we'll have to check the impact of reducing firmware's internal buffers (in throughput, for instance).<br>
<br>Current firmware releases:<br>- 22p1 is the update-1.703 built-in fw<br>- 22p6 is in joyride 1858+<br>- 22p8/22p9 is under tests by OLPC<br>- 22p10 is under tests by Marvell<br><br>The immediate need in this front is having an approved driver change to implement the multicast filter.<br>
<br>A bit of history on that issue:<br>To avoid that an XO wakes up at every received multicast frame, a filter was implemented. This filter was introduced in the firmware 22p8 and it needs the driver to inform the multicast addresses to listen to.

Yes, this is a problem for us.<br>
We need to request that 16 be allocated.<br>
