Hi Tomasz,

thank you for your reply.
For the convenience of other users, the discussion that you've
mentioned is: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.openbsd.ipv6/337
Anyway, I've compiled 0.8.4RC1 downloaded from your website (tar.gz),
uncommented low-level debug and the error is the same as it was
(received data on address ... message ignored).

PfSense/BSD dev team: any idea when/if prefix assignment (delegation)
for other interfaces will be available in BSD (PfSense) [Figure 4 page
18 dibbler-user manual] ?

Best
Slawomir Kosowski
