[Xorp-hackers] MLD(v2) on Linux 2.6.26-rc7 kernel?

Hi folks.

I've just this past weekend spun up Xorp to experiment with MLDv2 and  
some other things.  After noticing the lack of v6 multicast routing in  
Linux 2.6.25.x kernels, I build a more bleeding edge 2.6.26 (rc7)  
kernel that has v6 multicast routing included-- or at least, says it  
does.

When I run Xorp 1.4 configured to do MLDv2 (on eth3), I see this:

[ 2008/06/23 09:01:20 TRACE xorp_mld MLD6IGMP ] TX MLD_LISTENER_QUERY  
from fe80::204:5aff:fe9f:9e80 to ff02::1
[ 2008/06/23 09:01:20  ERROR xorp_mld:21363 MLD6IGMP +1519

send a protocol message: 102 Command failed Cannot send MLD protocol  
message from fe80::204:5aff:fe9f:9e80 to ff02::1 on vif eth3:  
sendmsg(proto 58 size 28 from fe80::204:5aff:fe9f:9e80 to ff02::1 on  
vif eth3) failed: Invalid argument

So, before I spend hours digging to figure out just what this is, does  
somebody already have an idea?

thx!
