Hi friends...

I am trying to make multicast using IPv6 with XORP but when it runs give me an 
error message, you can look my test and my configuration at http://pepo.co.nr

This is the error message:

I saw "IPv6 multicast routing not supported" maybe do I need change something 
in my GNU/Linux (Debian-Etch) to support IPv6 multicast? some modules or 
something like that?

A lot of thanks.
