I would think that eth0 should have a global address assigned to it. You only have a link-local address on it (fe80).
I think you should have one of the global /64s you were assigned on eth0 and have radvd advertise the rest of it through eth0. I had to manually assign a global ip for eth0 on my setup, which is similar to yours.
I believe I am correct on this, if not I apologize.

Hello, I am running radvd on a linux server and it is sending router advertisements to FF02::1. The prefix it is sending is 3ffe:302:11:2::
I have a linux host node running 2.6.11 with the following output from ifconfig:

Now, I can ping to other "fe80" nodes on my net as well as other tunnel
hosts on my net, so connectivity is there,
but my linux host never responds to the router advertisement(I am looking at
a network trace).
Now, if I understand this correctly, my host should respond and then take that prefix "3ffe:302:11:2::" and create a new Global scope inet6 address on eth0 "3ffe:302:11:2:2a0:9cff:fe00:8ad/128 Scope:Global". 1. Is this correct? 2. Is there some switch that I need to activate, so that my host node will respond to the advertisement and also create the new inet6 address on eth0?
Thanks.
