>Description:
attempting to bring up V6 on a rl interface doesn't work.
>How-To-Repeat:
boot system with INET6 and an ethernet connection through rl0
bring up interface
try to ping6 the link-local address.
run tcpdump. notice that ipv6 starts working because the
interface is in promiscuous mode.
whacking the driver to listen to all multicasts is an ok
workaround, but..
>Fix:
?? fix the code which programs the multicast filter
