I've got 2.1 release up, and am having some trouble getting multicast up. 
I recompiled the kernel with MROUTING; however, doing a netstat -g reveals
no virtual interfaces; mrouted aborts, claiming it can't enable multicast
on the chosen interface (ix0); other routines such as mtrace report similar
problems. 
 
On some systems I've used, there is a separate variable for MULTICAST and 
MROUTING. 
 
Has anyone got this working on 2.1 RELEASE, and care to give example
configuration info?
