Hi,

I am using ipxe + iscsistart -N/-b options in order to boot on iSCSI without re-asking the DHCP for my network config (using the iBFT table), and I found out that when using this options, my network interface does not have multicast enabled.

I think this is a iscsi tools issues. The ibft info does not export any multicast related info, but I think the iscsi tools could just do a IFF_MULTICAST SIOCSIFFLAGS ioctl to enable it. I did this in the attached patch.
