--- Begin Message ---Package: linux-image-2.6.25-2-iop32x Version: 2.6.25-7 Severity: normal Apparently the nic driver for my thecus n2100 has a problem with multicast packets. It ignores them unless put in promisc or allmulti mode. This means that IPV6 doesn't work right by default, since ipv6 relies on multicast traffic to do neighbor discovery. For example, I start tcpdump on the n2100, using -p to avoid putting it into promisc mode: r...@turtle:/home/joey>tcpdump -p -n -i eth0 # Here I start ping6 from ::feb2:9663 (box next to the n2100) to # 2001:4830:1231::1 (the n2100).
