Now Ethereal showed that depending on the computer I was trying to

future so that hipd doesnt start looping even when the user program is
using a wrong sender address.

It is possible for the initiator to use RSA and the responder to use DSA and
vice versa. Are you sure that your problem is related to this or is the
netlink interface just playing weird tricks on your platform?

I think I understood now what you meant because I ended up tracking this bug
by accident. The bug report and its workaround is here:

Tomi, is this the bug you were talking about? Can you repeat it with
test/pingtest?

I made a few tests and here are 2 logs:
http://www.ee.oulu.fi/~thautako/pingtest-log.txt
http://www.ee.oulu.fi/~thautako/pingtest-log2.txt

And yes, I get errors with pingtest. If this the same one I would
say it is but then again this is the first time I'm playing with netlink
etc so it might be something else too. At least the symptoms look
familiar but all my test nodes are in the same WLAN (3ffe::x).

Ok, thanks for the confirmation.
