And basically, the NetBSD driver do not need any changes. It's perfectly
correct in this aspect today. It was just that simh was doing things
wrong, but it sounds like Mark have already fixed it.

Actually, the NetBSD QT driver does NOT handle multi-cast correctly at all,
so it should be fixed, which Olaf is working on.

That is a different problem, though. :-)
Like I said, the basic functionality is just fine today.
But yes, the driver does not currently handle multicasting.
(I don't think 2.11BSD supports multicasting at all, which is where the driver comes from.)
