The rtl8187 cards don't seem to receive multicast frames, which, among other things, makes them fail to receive RAs in IPv6 networks. The cause seems to be that the RTL818X_RX_CONF_MULTICAST flag doesn't have the desired effect.
AFAIU you have RTL8187B chipset card only, but above message describes this as generic issue (including RTL8187 and RTL8187L). Larry: were you able to reproduce this problem using RTL8187L? Is this workaround needed for that chipset as well? I couldn't find clear statement.
