[Bug 611519] [NEW] IPv6 nonfunctional and radvd address not accepted on rt2870sta driver

[Abraham Smith]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-generic

Ubuntu and Kubuntu 10.04, all packages current as of 2010-07-29.

On my LAN with a properly running radvd server, any machine with an rt2870sta USB wifi device will not accept IPv6 information from radvd.
The machine with the USB device is properly connected on IPv4, and radvdump shows that the radvd broadcast is received.
The machine negotiates its own Link-Local IPv6 address, but it cannot ping others in the link (all others can ping each other, either over fe80:: or the radvd /64).  
avahi-daemon is enabled for ipv6, and avahi-browse on the machine shows others in the link, both in IPv4 and IPv6.
The same machine with either ethernet or an onboard Intel wifi device and the same network config can ping on link-local and handles the radvd broadcast as expected.

This occurs with two different Rosewill rt2870sta devices.
