Hi,

> 		4.10.6-3.g0402808-default x86_64

this kernel version does not support multicast to unicast, you can 
ignore that error safely.

Kernel 4.10.6 is lacking mac80211 [4,5] support for multicast to unicast 
and requires the interface to be down for enabling/disabling multicast 
to unicast [1,2,3]. Hence the error message.
Both is fixed in 4.11-rc4.

Regards,
M. Braun
