These patches do the following: 1) Enable one to send multicast packets without a default route or routes to the multicast addresses. 2) Enable one to send multicast packets on an interface without an address. 3) Prevent trouble if packets are sent through an interface without an address (vlan excluded). A similar version of these patches has been running on current for about three weeks (well, maybe 10 days if you exclude version 1.130 which addresses points 2 and 3). The main difference is that stable already has a check that is not present on current (I wonder why it was removed...). If a few people would be so kind as to test these patches... -- Daniel C.
