Linux kernel cannot receive multicast

I built a Linux kernel with CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST=y,however no UDP multicast package received in this kernel while UDP unicast works well.

ethtool -S eth0 | grep multicast                         
txmulticastframes_g: 0                   
txmulticastframes_gb: 0             
rxmulticastframes_g: 0

Any hints how can I solve this problem?

Thx. Forrest G

================================================================================= Additional:
tcpdump can get the packet

root@JHI # ./tcpdump port 3702
device eth0 entered promiscuous mode
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes

^C
2 packets captured
2 padevice eth0 left promiscuous mode

0 packets dropped by kernel

I write this WS-devicediscovery function with gSOAP. It works on X86 machine. When running on ARM device, it can send out igmp packet but not receive anything. 

void wsdd()  
{      
    struct soap *soap_udp;   
    struct ip_mreq mreq;   

    soap_udp=soap_new();  
    soap_init1(soap_udp, SOAP_IO_UDP|SOAP_IO_FLUSH);  

    if (!soap_valid_socket(soap_bind(soap_udp, NULL, 3702, 100)))  
    {      
        soap_print_fault(soap_udp, stderr);  
    }  

    mreq.imr_multiaddr.s_addr = inet_addr("239.255.255.250");  
    mreq.imr_interface.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY);  

    if(setsockopt(soap_ud->master,IPPROTO_IP,IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP,&mreq,sizeof(mreq))==-1)     {  
        perror("membership error\n");  
    }

    int loop = 1;  
    int sock_opt = 1;
    if ((setsockopt(soap_udp->master, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, (void *) &sock_opt,  
                    sizeof (sock_opt))) == -1) {  
        printf("setsockopt\n");  
    }  
    if ((setsockopt(soap_udp->master, IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_LOOP,  
                       &loop, sizeof (loop))) == -1) {  
        printf("setsockopt\n");  
    }

    while(1){  
        soap_accept(soap_udp);
        soap_serve(soap_udp);   
        soap_end(soap_udp); 
    }  
}

Then I have tried these things but still not work

route add -net 224.0.0.0 netmask 240.0.0.0 eth0
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter

Problem solved by changing..

ifconfig eth0 promisc

Can anyone explain the principle?
