Glad to hear that you got things working. You have probably already
filed a GUI enhancement request. ;-)

Oh, I forgot that "ndp" is BSD Unix specific. On Gentoo, you can use
sys-apps/iproute2 tools, e.g. "ip -6 neigh" to inspect the kernel's

Pretty close. If you *really* want to set things up manually, I suggest
using ULA as per https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4193 . I just randomly

should use one of your own), and

Hmm ...

No manual entry for ndp

Hehe. ;-) That's both provocative and wrong. An IPv6 router can, at a
glance, decide if a packet needs to be handled locally or pushed out. No

I can't really tell, based on what you posted. Is there an IPv6 Router
Advertisment service running, either on your router or another machine
in your local network?
Here is some data from the Gentoo machine I am currently working on. It
is hosted in a data

Router Advertisement, like the FRITZ!Box 7xxx line does, IPv6 clients
