i just added ip6tables to get some log messages on incoming/outgoing
packets (small embedded system with no tcpdump).

In fact the problem disappeared with 2.6.9-rc2.  I thought the idea of
2.6.8.x is to have real show-stopper bugfixes go into that series... and
if something like this is severely broken in ipv6, I would say it
rectifies a 2.6.8.2 release, don't you think?

I have to admit that this is the first time that my linux ipv6 setup
breaks within four years...

Now I'm stuck with another issue:  The interfaces suddenly no logner
get any link-local addresses:

/proc/net # ip -6 addr
2: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qlen 1000
    inet6 3ffe:400:900:1100::1/64 scope global 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 3ffe:400:900:1100:207:e9ff:fe09:b920/64 scope global 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
3: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP> mtu 16436 
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
4: eth0.2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 
    inet6 3ffe:400:900:1101::1/64 scope global 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 3ffe:400:900:1101:207:e9ff:fe09:b920/64 scope global 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
5: eth0.3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 
    inet6 3ffe:400:900:9999::1/64 scope global 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 3ffe:400:900:9999:207:e9ff:fe09:b920/64 scope global 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
8: tap0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1399 qlen 1000

       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
/proc/net # uname -r
2.6.9-rc2

Thanks!
