After some testing: 2.4.6 and 2.4.8 require both of these options be
disabled. 2.4.9 wants them enabled. 

Furthemore: after I turned on these option on the only 2.4.9 kernel I
currently have I was able to ping all machines on the network (and they
were able to ping each other). However, before (when options were turned
off) none of the machines on the network could ping each other with
packets of size 6000, though I could see them with tcpdump.
