That is what I've been using. The thing I worry about is that this is
just the multicast address for ipv6. There's a wikipedia page that
lists about 15 addresses for different things. Now how many do we care
about for grub? I have no idea. I _think_ that we only really care
about multicast traffic for ipv6 router advertisements, I can't think of
when else we'd want to use it. So in that sense I think it would be ok
to do this. But I have no way of knowing what would break in current
working configurations which is why I went with the config option. I
can test with the variety of hardware I have here and see how it does
with it set by default. It's up to you, I'm good either way. Thanks,
Josef
