@wengzhe I'm having some trouble getting this to work on my system. The NuttX device is responding to Neighbor Solicitation only on the first interface address. I think this is because the multicast MAC address to which solicitations are sent depends on the last 4 bytes of the IPv6 address. Therefore e.g. `fd00:1::1` and `fd00:2::1` on same NuttX interface would work because they have the same MAC address, but `fd00:1::2` wouldn't. The IPv6 multicast MAC address is currently being added in architecture code, typically called [xxxxx_ipv6multicast()](https://github.com/apache/nuttx/blob/master/arch/arm/src/stm32/stm32_eth.c#L4018C13-L4071). Unfortunately this function is not exposed in the API so I'm not sure what would be the best approach for handling it. Adding a MAC address is supported using `dev->d_addmac()`, so possibly `_ipv6multicast()` function could be moved to main net code. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
