Hi,

I've just recently discovered that the IPv6 address discovery
does no longer work on my Ultra 5/hme network interface.  The log
messages are like:
hme0: DAD detected duplicate IPv6 address xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:0a00:20ff:fed1:50b4: NS in/out=1/1, NA in=0
hme0: DAD complete for xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:0a00:20ff:fed1:50b4 - duplicate found
hme0: manual intervention required

ifconfig hme0 prints:
hme0: flags=8a63<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,ALLMULTI,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        address: 08:00:20:d1:50:b4
        media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT)
        status: active
        inet 10.10.10.10 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.10.10.255
        inet6 fe80::a00:20ff:fed1:50b4%hme0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
        inet6 xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:a00:20ff:fed1:50b4 prefixlen 64 duplicated

This seems to have started somewhere between June 6th and Jun
26th.  Has anyone else observed similar behavior?  Pilot error or
bug?

Oh yes, this is with -current as of yesterday.
