why multicasting is working?



Hello all,

I have two linux debian systems, one with kernel 2.2.18, another with 2.4.20.
Both kernels have option "IP: multicasting" DISABLED. However
multicasting is working and both systems answered if I ping 224.0.0.1,
and multicast programs are working! The question is: why this option
"IP: multicasting" is present in the kernel, if multicasting is always
working???

Thank you.
