I'm offlist. So Pierre Ossman sent some RFC patches for DNSSL back in December 2010, but Dave Miller wanted actual formal submissions which Pierre never got around to doing. I'll resubmit Pierre's second patch, which exports all options the kernel doesn't care about to userspace. Sun, 12 Dec 2010: "[RFC][PATCH] Export all RA options that we don't handle to userspace" Dan
