So I am the first one trying to use IPv6 with a xe. IPv6 _needs_ > full multicast support to work. I'm (and some others I know are) also using IPv6 with an xe-pccard, so you're not alone :) Using rtsol when the interface is in promiscuous mode works, but I usually set the IPv6 address using ifconfig in dhclient-exit-hooks so I don't need to go into the promiscuous mode. - Willem van Engen --=.za'ia0tgAzRd,3 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE76l49gV5rBd/7/90RAitMAJ99Mm6Iz1ZTI2otQgEYKWw+n/AYEgCgsC02 K+FEJRpbw5kA6zMC30ukeZg= =IWDu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=.za'ia0tgAzRd,3-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
