Well, I removed LANCE_LEVC_BUG from my kernel, and I can now ping6 my sun3
(it's ready to enter the 21th century :).
I didn't notice any problems but I only use the network to log in, and sup the

Does someone know what the bug it, and what effects it has ?

Maybe we could emulate multicast with promiscious mode and broadcast ?
