hello,

At my test system I have installed NetBSD 4.0_RC5 amd64.

After startup the interface doesn't get an ipv6 address via stateless 
address config. tcpdump (no promisc mode) shows only ipv6 unicast packets 
but no ipv6 multicast packets like router advertisements.

If you switch the interface to the promisc mode, everything works well. 
tcpdump shows all packets and the stateless address config works fine.

The problem occurs only with Broadcom NIC's but not with INTEL NIC's


Any ideas?
