From c3bccac2fa76f1619dfe4fb7b9bee69de7f066d8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Graf Date: Fri, 3 Sep 2010 03:04:20 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: add special mode forwarding=2 to send RS while configured as router Similar to accepting router advertisement, the IPv6 stack does not send router solicitations if forwarding is enabled. This patch enables this behavior to be overruled by setting forwarding to the special value 2. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: David S.
