System: NetBSD 1.5ZC (NET4501) #1: Thu Mar 21 16:44:25 CET 2002 i386
kernel built from sources as of abotu 10 hours ago - would be 0700 CET
>Description:
Soekris net4501 doesn't do IPv6, because it doesn't
receive ipv6 or ipv4 multicast (ipv4 broadcast is fine)
unless interface is in promiscuous mode (running
tcpdump)
I tried both sif0 and sif1
>How-To-Repeat:
boot it, try to ping multicast address from another
machine.
>Fix:
fix not known
workaround: promiscuous mode
