Multicast not working? (Standalone, AP/Master WiFi)


Hi,

I am running on .39-rc6 kernel with libertas_tf (also in development) drivers. I do have local DNS server (BIND) running and DHCP services, with libertas_tf I have AP/Master mode running. All this was tested with different devices and many times and mostly looks working without any significant problems.

The only problem I got that after connecting to this AP device (embedded) with iPhone/Android/WP7 or laptop multicast stuff doesn't work.

ifconfig shows me MULTICAST flag on all available interfaces. My embedded device has daemon, which is broadcasting some information to anyone who is connected.

I found this website, which might be outdated by now (updated in 99): http://www.jukie.net/~bart/multicast...MiniHOWTO.html

So, I should configure my kernel with:
CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST=y
CONFIG_IP_ROUTER=y
CONFIG_IP_MROUTE=y
CONFIG_NET_IPIP=y

and run 'mrouted' as service to make MULTICAST working between my applications on my AP?

Thanks!
David
