>Description:
The host runs IPv6 with a static assigned IPv6 address. Trying
to ping6 this address from a Linux host on the LAN failes.
ping6 from a other NetBSD or OpenBSD host on the same LAN works.
Ping6 and connect from the internet to the static IPv6 address
works. `tcpdump icmp6` on the Linux host on the same LAN shows
outgoing NDP Packets, but no incoming answer.
The problem did not occur on NetBSD 10.1.
For test purposes I have switched off NPF, but this did not fix
the issue.
It looks like a problem with the Neighbor Discovery Protocol on
11.0_RC4.
To double check I have two other hosts without static IPv6
address. One 10.1, the other 11.0_RC4. The 10.1 host can be
pinged, the 11.0_RC4 not. I used the dynnamic assigned IPv6
address. None of these two systems run NPF.

>How-To-Repeat:
I used a installed Debian 13.5, a Debian live system (13.5 XFCE)
and a Fedora Live 44-1.7 to test on the LAN.
Ping6 and connect from the internet with:

Tests with OpenBSD are done with the FuguIta live system:

>Fix:
Work around: Running the following command on the Linux host
(Debian 13.5) works:
ip -6 neigh replace XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX::1 lladdr yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy dev e=
no1
with XXXX is my /64 prefix and yy is my MAC.
