Can I have you code?

I meant, on MacOS X, it reports its originating lladdr option of 16bytes.
Then Linux side receives lladdr option of 24bytes, in ICMPv6 with incorrect
checksum.  I guess that lladdr option is 16byte long at bpf layer,
and then, it is mangled in the driver, but ICMPv6 checksum was not modified.

In reverse, on Linux side, it sends lladdr option of 24 bytes long
with correct checksum, but it is ignored by MacOS.
