Do you have evidence that it's actually working? I'm trying to make it
work on other systems and it isn't. Unfortunately I don't have access
to a NetBSD system at the moment.

I'm doing ping6 or ping -6 with the option to get NI information back,
I hope that's the relevant thing here. ping6 -a on my Mac for example.
