I have problems with receiving multicast on iBook's Sun GEM. 0002:20:0f.0 Ethernet controller: Apple Computer Inc. UniNorth 2 GMAC (Sun GEM) (rev 80)
When I bring the interface up, it does not at first receive IPv6 multicast (waiting for a while does not help) which means that it does not process router advertisements or respond to pings to ff02::1. If I unplug the network (without taking the interface down) and plug it back in, the interface starts working after a second or so and router advertisements are applied normally. For example before the unplugging/replugging: $ ping6 -I eth0 ip6-allnodes connect: Cannot assign requested address And after: $ ping6 -I eth0 ip6-allnodes PING ip6-allnodes(ip6-allnodes) from fe80::20d:93ff:fe75:fb9c eth0: 56 data bytes 64 bytes from fe80::20d:93ff:fe75:fb9c: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.090 ms ... This is what the kernel reports: eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full-duplex. eth0: Pause is disabled eth0: Link down eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full-duplex. eth0: Pause is disabled ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready I'm using kernel 2.6.15.1. Any suggestions on how to further debug this?
