I installed a multicast kernel and I noticed that when I joined a
multicast group my machine would arp for the multicast group I had
just joined (this struck me as a little odd). After some probing I
discovered that if_ether.c was missing some code.

If guess some of the original patch to netinet/if_ether.c was moved to
net/if_ethersubr.c and this little #ifdef got lost (it's an important
one, however, as it causes arpresolv to return the proper multicast
phys address instead of trying to resolve it with arp)

I haven't tried any multicast tunneling yet, but I hope to next week.
