I have a problem receiving some icmp6 packets with a ns83820 card. I have ipv6 working on a PC, an alpha and an ARM, but the a second PC with a ns83820 card is not seeing any router advertisement or neighour solicitation. As soon as I use "tcpdump ip6" to look at the packets on that machine, I do get all the stuff. Everything works fine with ipv4. What did I do wrong? Pointers?
