Do you have IP Multicast enabled in the kernel? I went round and round
trying to figure out what was wrong until I got that enabled. After
that, I compiled gated-R3_6Alpha_2 plus a patch for Linux from
ftp.redhat.com/pub/gated. It is working just fine on a network of a PM3
(more on the way!), a Cisco 2501, and 2 Ascend MAX 1800s (bleh!).
Ascends do OSPF rather weird - they broadcast a host route and a network
route for each connection. Maybe I just have it setup weird - hard to
tell. :-)
