IPv6 support on Indy

[Jochen Friedrich <jochen@scram.de>]

Hi,

it looks like IPv6 support on Indy is pretty bad because the
builtin ethernet doesn't receive multicast frames (Protocols like OSPF or
RIP2 suffer problems, as well). The following patch is supposed to fix
this.

I guess my Indy is the first one talking IPv6 under Linux then ;-)
