[Bug 299059] Re: Cannot join multicast group without adding route

[ThomasNovin]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: linux-image
  
  If I don't issue 'sudo route add -net 224.0.0.0/4 dev eth0' I cannot
- join multicast group 239.1.2.3 (for example).
+ join multicast group 239.1.2.3 (for example). This is when you are
+ without a default gateway.
  
- This seems strange, you should have that route per default IMO.
+ This seems strange, you should have that route per default IMO, even if
+ you don't have a default gateway. You (shouldn't) don't send your
+ packets to the gateway anyways.
