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
