Well, "print-icmp6.c" appears to have code to handle neighbor
solicitation; however, the IPv6 code is compiled into tcpdump only if
INET6 is defined, and I think you have to explicitly request that by
supplying "--enable-ipv6" to the configure script.

I think that may even be the case if your OS has an IPv6 stack that
tcpdump can use.  Ethereal's IPv6 support is compiled in regardless of
whether you have IPv6 support in the OS or not - it may not be able to
look up IPv6 addresses and translate them to host names, but it'll at
least dissect IPv6 and ICMPv6 packets.

Can anybody think of a reason why tcpdump shouldn't do the same?
