Issue #2458 has been updated by Johannes Hofmann.


Thanks for looking into this! I tried to implement it as you suggested
and simply doing:

seems to work for ath so far. Do you have a better idea how to deal
with the recursive call to if_addmulti()?
Of course the other wlan drivers would also need to be adjusted. I
can work on that if you confirm that this is the way to go.

Best Regards,
Johannes

After running for a while in a WPA secured WLAN with an ath(4) card, I get:
   ath: ran out of descriptors
and the network stops working.
Sometimes destroying wlan0 and kldunload if_ath; kldload if_ath
restores network, but in some cases I get
