Subject: Re: [IPv6] "sendmsg: invalid argument" to multicast group after	some time

Bernhard,
        It'll definitely fall back to using the routing table
when the interface is not specified already, which is why
I was ranting about it (I think it should fail without a unicast
routing table lookup in that case, and always require the
application to provide the interface).
        What is odd about your case is you specified
"-I eth0" on the ping6, so it should never be doing a
route lookup (but it also should have a nonzero scope_id).
        That could be a bug in ping6. If it's passing
uninitialized flags to sendmsg, it clearly needs some work.
        Then the question is whether RIPng is explicitly
providing the interface for the sendmsg or not. If it isn't,
that's the problem, but I'd expect it to-- to operate correctly,
it needs to know what interface it's talking on.

                                        +-DLS
