Hi All,
The below patch file is required in order for the multicasting to work properly on Linux kernel below 3.2 for wl12xx drivers

This above patch will disable the multicast filter at the wl1271 hardware

This particular patch is not required upstream because upstream has long
moved past 2.6.28(.2). If you need this included in TI's special compat
version you need to talk to them.
In any case, I cannot and will not apply patches to any tree that carry
a "confidential information" footer and/or don't have a sign-off.

In other words, you never even wanted me to see that email, which is
just as well since it's completely bogus for upstream.
