Subject: still not properly working multicast receiving at rtk8110SC (with 23rc3+ your patches)

Hi Francois,

i just tested the new kernel 2.6.23rc3 with and without your patches, i cannot find a difference to the behaviour of the previous state ... (22 + your patches)

I still have a very unreliable receiving of multicast packets, only for about 1/3 of my join mc attempts or so i receive them, in the other cases i do not.

Glen Gray also reported the same problems here on list, and i did some conversation.
I'm using a Jetway mini-ITX board 7F4K with VIA C7 processor and he uses a similar platform, also with a C7 cpu, maybe the platform influences the problem ?
Do we have reports on other platforms with the r8110SC and multicast receiving ?

I also tried drivers from realtek homepage (the new 2.x series does not compile under kernel >2.6.20)
The older driver (1.x for kernel 2.4) does work fine for me if i do some changes to the code to fit with kernel 2.6 series (transfered code from older versions which did support 2.6 too).

Greetings
Robert
