Has anyone had problems with the two card NIC CETK test failing on the
standard NE2000 driver ?

I've got a cf card which is NE2000 compatible. It passes all of the 1 card
tests and 5 of the 6 two card tests, but late in the test #4 (multicast
receive), it gets unexpected packets through the filter. It happen the couple
of times I've run the test so far.

Before I dig into what I hoped was an off the shelf standard driver, has
anyone already hit this ?

CE 4.1

The MultiCast Test require the NIC must support at least 256 multi-cast
group and
could receive the multi-cast packet it is set exactly!
Some of the NIC have some internal memory that could store the multicast
groups, but the others
might use bit-mask filter so that it might receive some unexpected muticast
packets!!

The NE2000 is the later one, so it will receive more multi-cast than
expected.

To resolve this issue, you may add some code in recevice handler and use S/W
based filter to exam all of the multi-cast packet!
(This might cause some performance penalty!)
