You mean that driver advertises promiscuous multicast support but does 
not implement it? Can you add debugging to efi_call_6 
(net->receive_filters, net, filters, 0, 0, 0, NULL); whether it fails. 
May be need set each one separately and fall back to promiscuous.

Could you send packet trace?

I do not think we need any IPv4 multicasts; for IPv6 we need all nodes 
and solicited address.

But I would like to understand first whether receive_filters fail and we 
ignore it or it succeeds.
