I have seen in thread [1] that there is a patch for this and that another patch was supposed to be applied for 2.6.15(!), yet I'm using 2.6.17 and nothing works. Another report about this is at [2] Could whatever difference exists be resolved and this issue fixed? IPv6 is completely unusable on my network due to this issue. Thanks, Baruch [1] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=113045346500003&r=1&w=2 [2] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-net&m=111989050303975&w=2
