Oh well, iwi(4) receives multicast frames just fine, they are
discarded somewhere else though last time I've checked, another
offtopic issue ;)

I did look into this once for ipw it was I guess, the firmware
doesn't support filtering based on addresses so everything one
could achieve here is enable/disable filtering of all multicast
frames. Check iwi_configuration.enable_multicast_filtering, which
is a bool actually not an uint8_t.
