The 8139 was one of the chips I skipped, hoping that no one would use
it for IPv6. It's possible to have the multicast entry point just set
promiscuous mode, as some cost in CPU time, as is done in the i82557
driver.
I just did a quick scan of the ether drivers. It looks like the
Realteks need an entry point in each driver and possibly some work to
make multicast smarter than promiscuous mode. The Netgear GA620
driver may just need an entry point. ethervbge.c just needs an entry
point. I'll add the entry points at least and push out new drivers.
