There still is a bug in the 3c59x driver. It doesn't include any code
to handle changing the mac address. It will work if you take the device
down, change address, then bring it up. But you shouldn't have to do that.
Also, if the driver handles setting mac address, it could have prevented
you from using a multicast address.
Something like this is needed (untested, I don't have that hardware).
