 I have tested fix and confirm that it works.
 
 There is a problem with the multifast filter set up on qe too.   A simple
 test is to attempt to obtain an IPv6 address using rtsold.  This will fail
 unless the interface is also in promiscuous mode, for example:
 
   rtsold -am && tcpdump -evn -i qe0
 
 Thanks,
