Description mpp 1995-06-02 12:50:00 UTC 
Multicast is not supported on PPP interfaces.  It looks like 
someone goofed when they checked in revision 1.4 of sys/net/if_ppp.c,
since it deleted the changes made in revision 1.3 to add the
multicast stuff.

Fix: Here is a patch that re-adds the multicast stuff that was previosly
in revision 1.3 of if_ppp.c.  I think this is all that is needed,
but someone who knows more about this stuff should double
check and make sure.
How-To-Repeat: 
Run "ifconfig ppp0" and note that MULTICAST doesn't appear
as one of the flags.

Mike was right - Garrett simply made a mistake in rev 1.4 and 
inadvertantly clobbered his change in 1.3. The multicast ioctl 
support has been added back.
