iwlwifi: fix multicast
commit 3474ad635db371b0d8d0ee40086f15d223d5b6a4
Author: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
Date: Thu Apr 29 04:43:05 2010 -0700
iwlwifi: apply filter flags directly
broke multicast. The reason, it turns out, is that
the code previously checked if ALLMULTI _changed_,
which the new code no longer did, and normally it
_never_ changes. Had somebody changed it manually,
the code prior to my patch there would have been
broken already.
The reason is that we always, unconditionally, ask
the device to pass up all multicast frames, but the
new code made it depend on ALLMULTI which broke it
since now we'd pass up multicast frames depending
on the default filter in the device, which isn't
necessarily what we want (since we don't program it
right now).
Fix this by simply not checking allmulti as we have
allmulti behaviour enabled already anyway.
