Package: ndisc6 Version: 0.9.8-1 Severity: important Tags: ipv6 Running rdisc6 (from ndisc6, version 0.9.8-1) on an amd64 host:

Hop limit : 255 ( 0xff) Stateful address conf. : No Stateful other conf. : Yes Router preference : medium Router lifetime : 1800 (0x00000708) seconds Reachable time : 1800 (0x00000708) milliseconds Retransmit time : unspecified (0x00000000) Prefix : <my-ipv6-prefix>::/64 Valid time : 16576 (0x000040c0) seconds Pref. time : 7200 (0x00001c20) seconds MTU : 0 bytes (invalid) Source link-layer address: <router-mac> from <router-link-local-ipv6> Note the difference in the three lines following "Prefix". Both hosts are connected to the same switch and get identical router advertisement messages over the wire. Also, both kernels manage to get this right. I suspect the bug has to do with the unusual struct-packing behaviour on arm as compared to x86. -- David Härdeman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
