wlan1 is my link to the Internet facing router, for the purposes of
trying to fix this, wlan0 is not currently in use, neither is eth0 nor
the tun0 device.  I have them configured "IgnoreIfMissing" in
radvd.conf.

I've now removed all other devices from the config and switched back to
my old kernel.  Strangely I'm seeing very few RA broadcasts on my client
machine, and my kernel hasn't picked up the advertised network
configuration.  I'm somewhat at a loss now.  I'm going to try updating
the kernel on the client, but this was all working fine just yesterday!

More to come no doubt...
