Hi,
i just tested the last log:
%tail /var/log/messages
Jan 3 23:21:50 mpd2 kernel: nd6_setmtu0: new link MTU on ng92 (1218) is
too small for IPv6
Jan 4 00:00:36 mpd2 kernel: nd6_setmtu0: new link MTU on ng105 (1218) is
too small for IPv6
Jan 4 00:34:48 mpd2 kernel: nd6_setmtu0: new link MTU on ng105 (1218) is
too small for IPv6
Jan 4 07:47:37 mpd2 kernel: nd6_setmtu0: new link MTU on ng100 (1218) is
too small for IPv6
Jan 4 08:31:55 mpd2 kernel: nd6_setmtu0: new link MTU on ng116 (1218) is
too small for IPv6
Jan 4 09:16:21 mpd2 kernel: nd6_setmtu0: new link MTU on ng123 (1218) is
too small for IPv6
Jan 4 12:55:32 mpd2 kernel: nd6_setmtu0: new link MTU on ng53 (1218) is
too small for IPv6
Jan 4 14:17:34 mpd2 kernel: nd6_setmtu0: new link MTU on ng120 (1218) is
too small for IPv6
%ifconfig ng120
ng120: flags=88d1<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0
mtu 1218
inet 188.64.96.5 --> 188.64.102.171 netmask 0xffffffff
so MTU is indeed 1218
