OK, I've confirmed that I still get the above with both dadwifi and
bcm43xx-mac80211

A tcpdump indicates that my laptop sees its own neighbour-announce come
back, and assumes that's a different machine sending it, failing the
duplicate address detection.

A tcdump against the ethernet device (or bcm43xx from 2.6.20) does not
see the neighbour-announce come back, and so passes the duplicate
address detection, and gets an autoconfig IPv6 address.

I thought it might be the lack of IFF_BROADCAST which was fixed a while
ago, but it's still there.

kernel 2.6.20 from debian, patched with get_order() fix from 2.6.20.2
modular mac80211 stack from intel's 4.0.4 tarball, patched into kernel
bcm43xx-mac80211 from wireless-dev
dadwifi from madwifi.org subversion repository
