There seems to be several ways to enable multicast. We choose right now
MadWifi's old implementation. We can later try ath5k_hw_set_mcast_filterindex()
as well.
ath5k_hw_get_rx_filter() may enable AR5K_RX_FILTER_RADARERR or
AR5K_RX_FILTER_PHYERR. We choose to respect only AR5K_RX_FILTER_PHYERR
for now because:
a. Most radars don't seem to work on 5GHz band now
b. Some have reported a lot of unnecessary noise is captured
when trying to filter for radar
c. When and if someone wants to work on DFS for ath5k later
this can be enabled then
