Probably I was not clear. You should not use RA to add *any* route unless it claims to offer one. Your patch did not check for it. "Default" was wrong here, I did not mean to distinguish between different types of routes (actually, I am not sure if SLAAC can add default route in usual sense). > > Eesh I just ripped that out didn't I?
