   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?
   
I bet multicast does not work with ipv4 too.

Your report clearly indicates some problems with multicast on ns83820.
This is because:

1) %99 of people never try to use multicast on ipv4

2) IPV6 router advertisement and neighbour solicitation
   use multicast and therefore do not work without it
   functioning properly

Ben, Jeff?
