It's enabled in the default FC5 kernel, so it should only be necessary
to add a route to the multicast network. 

To do this from the command line (non-permanent), use:

route add -net 224.0.0.0/4 dev eth0

To make it permanent, in the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0 
(on FC4) I have:

224.0.0.0/4 dev eth0

Cheers,

Paul
