Ah, there the patch is.  I was looking for it recently and could not
find it...

No, due to the way we hacked ND in tun mode.

For Windows, this is still a multiaccess network, but the TAP driver
will only reply to ND queries for his gateway address (fe80::8).  So
if you use the correct netmask, Windows will send NDs for all hosts
in the /64 or /80 or whatnot, which will fail - no ND on the tun
interface, and nothing in the driver to translate.

(Now, my "tap-to-tun adapter inside OpenVPN" would do this, because
AIX only has tap - but that's still unfinished).


Laurent: I'll see that I can get this fully understood, tested and merged.

Sorry for the delay.
