Nothing extra is needed other than --enable-brov6.

Note though that Bro doesn't correctly deal with packets that have options
(this is a BPF/pcap limitation, rather than something specific to Bro).

As usual, reports of failures work much better if you include a trace and
command-line invocation that demonstrates the problem, so we can try to
reproduce it.

It should be able to read them (as UDP, if that's what they are), but
doesn't do any interesting analysis on them.
