Bug#512960: Realtek r8169: icmp6 neighbor discovery doesn't work
Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64
Version: 2.6.26-13
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainers,
the RealTek RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver (r8169.ko) doesn't work
properly with icmp6.
I can't see any incoming icmp6 neighbor solicitation with tcpdump. But,
when I switch the interface in allmulticast mode:
ip set link allmulticast on dev eth0
everythink works. I can see icmp6 neighbor solicitations and appropriate
neighbor advertisements.
Is there some hardware limitation or is this a driver bug?
(Mainboard is an Asus M3A78 PRO)
Regards
Friedemann
