[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH] [netifd] enable MULTICAST on GRE

[Nick Podolak]

This patch enables multicast by for gre tunnels.  I've only ever used
GRE to enable routing algorithms and other multicast applications over
otherwise non-multicast capable links (wan, ipsec) so this default
behavior makes more sense to me.
