This seems to be a common problem with radvd which I also used to run
into, but I can't quite remember how I solved it.  I think the problem may
have been that eth0 didn't have the multicast flag set, but I don't
remember for certain.  -Nathan


Strange, flag is up on my system:

Is there any known kernel bug?

BTW: with radvd-0.5.0 I had no problems - strange.

TIA,
