[Olsr-users] IPv6 failure

[Glenn Daneels]

Hi,

Again sorry for the late answer. I tried

Interface "eth5"
{
    Mode "mesh"
    IPv6Multicast ff02::6d
}

and also this (ff05 for a site-local multicast address)

Interface "eth5"
{
    Mode "mesh"
    IPv6Multicast ff05::6d
}

and now, I also tried switching on IPv6 by ONLY enabling it in olsrd.conf
(I first enabled it in olsrd.conf AND by command-line).
But still, the situation stays the same. Some other suggestions are still
welcome.

Thanks in advance!
Glenn
