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 spent one day in just isolating the bug. The problem is the first HIT
from the "ip -6 addr show dev dummy0" output does not work well. This is
something related to routing that I haven't figured out yet and I would
appreciate your hints on this.
"hipconf get hi default" can warn about the bad HIT now.
