Keywords: 386bsd multicast Ethernet Message-ID: <16385@lupine.ncd.com> Date: 11 Feb 93 20:30:34 GMT Sender: news@NCD.COM Organization: Network Computing Devices, Mt. View, CA, USA Lines: 17 Nntp-Posting-Host: grant Does anyone have any experience with multicast Ethernet? I would like to use my 386bsd PC as a network node which receives multicast Ethernet packets. My Ethernet card is NE2000 compatible (ne0), but there is no code in the driver (i386/isa/if_ne.c) to support multicast. I presume I need to set up the card in some way for it to be able to receive these packets. After doing this, I intend to add a handler to the incoming-packet switch, so I can decompose my packet into the appropriate data. That bit I think I can cope with, but I have no idea about programming the Ethernet board to actually receive these packets in the first place. Help??!
