I have just started to play with IPv6, and after trying to autoconfigure
the laptop's xe0 interface without any success, I found that the ICMPv6
route advertisements (which travel encapsulated into multicast Ethernet
frames, with dst address 33:33:0:0:0:1) were not being received by the
interface. However, a "netstat -a" shows clearly that multicast address:
Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Coll
xe0 1500 <Link#2> 00:10:a4:e8:6f:b6 3199 0 24 8 0
33:33:e6:ef:ce:85
33:33:0:0:0:1
33:33:ff:e8:6f:b6
1:0:5e:0:0:1
The xe card, however, sends multicast ethernet frames without any problem.
Then, I used another PCMCIA ethernet card (a NE2000 clone) and everything
worked fine. Obviously something is seriously broken in the xe(4) driver
or in the xe hardware. BTW, the card is a Xircom RealPort 100 (equivalent
to the CE3-10/100).
Some xe(4) guru out there?
Cheers,
JMA
