Eric,

I'm seeing a new problem now with IPv6 on my bridge, I don't know if 
it's related to any of the patches you gave me.

Basically, I have eth0 and eth1 in a balance-rr bond (bond0), and this 
is added as a port in a bridge. When the bond and bridge are freshly 
brought up, IPv4 works fine but it appears to be deaf to IPv6 traffic. 
It stays this way until I run 'tcpdump -i eth0' and 'tcpdump -i eth1'. 
If I run tcpdump with the -p flag to not enable promiscuous mode, the 
interfaces remain deaf. Only if they enter promiscuous mode do they 
start to listen to each other. It also doesn't help to run tcpdump 
against bond0 or br0 at all.

I'm not sure if once I've killed tcpdump they become deaf again, but I 
have enough IPv6 traffic to keep the neighbour entry alive.

Cheers,
Chris
