I assume both are stable/8? Are you sure on the Feb 25th kernel
doing ok or could it be that you are just more lucky?

Yes, that would make sense from what I have just observed elsewhere.
So I guess my question about the Feb 25th kernel is irrelevant but
getting a confirmation on the branch would be good.
I would assume that if you have both machines running the newer kernel
and would start ping6 from both things would also start working
immediately.
