It's output with a diag_printf which means it's always output for the vast 
majority of drivers without multicast support (and doesn't say it's a 
warning, not an error). Should this be conditional on net debugging 
instead? I'll arrange if so.

Probably worth checking, although he said eth_drv_init() is being called, 
and that's only called from the low level driver, so this probably isn't it.
