Hi,

thanks for the bug report. Added an id to to bugzilla:

Further testing establishes that if only hipd is running, the notebook acquires the IPv6 address from lan2. So now it is looking like a hipfw challenge.

I had hipd and hipfw running on my notebook with only IPv6 networking defined.

I unplugged the ethernet cable from lan1 and plugged into lan2. I am running radvd on both lans.

The notebook failed to gain the IPv6 address for lan2. It appeared to be ignoring the RAs.

So I terminated hipfw and hipd. Still no new IPv6 address.

So I switched back to lan1, restarted networking, saw the notebook getting its IPv6 address for lan1, moved the cable to lan2, and watched it pick up the address for lan2. This establishes that without hipd, the RAs were being processed.

So where might the problem be? hipd blocking something? The changed firewall rules (hipfw -Aidl) resulting in RAs being blocked (but this should have been restored when I terminated hipfw).
