SubjectARCnet multicast support (for PROMISC-capable , i.e. COM20020 cards).
Date
From

I was just looking through some networking documentation, and noticed that
ARCnet was listed as not supporting multicast at all. Here's a completely
untested fix, as I don't have access to such cards any more. It's so simple
that if I've screwed it up I should probably go shoot myself anyway :)
