With 1.03 I haven't gotten the Multicast troubles , I do run
GateD in a testing environment here (bgp,ospf,rip2(multicast))
The one trouble I have with 1.03 is that sometime after init
starts (so something in the rc.* area causes this) the interface
gets shutdown . But all I have to do is execute the mii-diag
program from Mr. Beckers diag dir & all is well again .
This is the same under both 2.1.x & 2.0.x kernels .
v0.36 under 2.1.124 seems to run good also but I don't run my
GateD test systems under 2.1.xxx . Although I will when 2.2.x
comes out , so my present concern .
Tia, JimL
