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.

Yes, the RTL8187L has the same problem as the RTL8187B. The fix is needed for both.

OK, thanks for clarifying!
