I guess what your patch does is send multicast frames as broadcast UWB
packets.  It would be more efficient to send them as multicast UWB
packets but I'm assuming that the support for forming such multicast
groups doesn't exist yet.

I'm happy to apply the patch as is provided you send me a version that's
not line wrapped.
