[radvd-devel-l] regression with version 1.8

[George K.]

Hello all,

I've been using radvd on ARM architecture with kernel 2.6.11 and up to
version 1.7 I had no problems at all. Version 1.8 though is unusable
for me since all RA packets are mis-crafted. I am pasting the output
of tcpdump on a PC client listening for RAs from radvd version 1.7 and
1.8.

as you can see most of the fields are wrong.
Version 1.8 works fine though on PPC with 2.6.27 and x86 wtih 2.6.38.
