    Hi,

    I'm trying to get mrouted to route multicast traffic between multiple
    VLANs on a FreeBSD 5.4-RC3 machine. Mrouted starts as expected, and
    according to /var/log/messages it's running - but the multicast routing
    itself don't work. While Googling, I noticed in kern/78821
    (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/78821) that FreeBSD
    fails to set the ALLMULTI flag on the parent device when using the
    if_em(4). I have tried to set the ALLMULTI flag manually, but with no
    further success - The flag won't set.

    I need the multicast routing to get Norton Ghost work properly, and
    currently I'm a bit stuck..

    Regards, Eivind Hestnes
