Is there any multicast/ broadcast support in the kernel? I asked since I 
may do it if there's isn't. It seems that the 8390 can do multicast 
stuff, but the kernel only uses broadcast. Also, if I do it, what is the 
standard programming interface for user processes to access? (Well I 
don't want to have a weird interface if there's alread one on the other 
platforms).

Thanks.
