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.
