I've compiled/installed
hostapd -v
hostapd v2.7-devel-hostap_2_6-871-g0b287a2+
User space daemon for IEEE 802.11 AP management,
IEEE 802.1X/WPA/WPA2/EAP/RADIUS Authenticator

On exec, it works -- I've got connectivity, etc.
Logs, however, show instances of "disabling multicast to unicast failed" at each start/stop,

I've tried
multicast_to_unicast=0
multicast_to_unicast=1
&
#multicast_to_unicast=0
in the config file -- no change.
What config or build change is required to fix the error -- either in logs, &/or the root cause?
