The FAQ is wrong if it says that.  `options MROUTING' and
`ip_mroute_mod.o' are the same code, and you need one or the other.
`options MULTICAST' has not existed since 1.1.5, and `options LKM' has
not existed since early in the 2.0 development cycle (like last
October).

Don't do this.  Go to `/usr/src/lkm/ip_mroute' and say `make load' if
you want to go this route.  The mrouting LKM stuff was done more as a
demonstration than anything else (I used the experience to help me in
doing the loadable VFS support).

That code might not work at all.  I have been bugging my boss to fix
the configuration on some hardware here so that I can test it out, but
until that happens, you may be on your own.
