Log:
Add dummy function for ic_update_mcast (a la if_urtw) to avoid
console
spam.
I don't agree with this. I think these dummy functions should be
removed in all drivers and if the console spam is annoying it should
be limited to one message per interface.
Yes, I didn't catch the other stubs going in but already talked to Ed
about this one. People need to understand that stub'ing out this
function is masking a real problem. Drivers that can support mcast
filtering should do so. Otherwise we need mcast filtering implemented
in the 802.3 layer to support the ALLMULTI ifnet flag; in which case
drivers that are incomplete can fallback on this support. In lieu of
working support a better solution is to provide a stub in net80211
that ratelimits the printf but doesn't completely remove it.
