commit 9868989393a9a99b9dc33bbcd588ad997d300ffa Author: Linus Lüssing linus.luessing@web.de Date: Wed Oct 17 15:07:35 2012 +0200

batman-adv: Do not add multicast MAC addresses to translation table

The current translation table mechanism is not suitable for multicast addresses and we are currently flooding such frames anyway.

Therefore this patch prevents multicast MAC addresses being added to the translation table.
