Hello.

Recent 2.6.21-git kernels do not respond to ping6 queries
to our own (local) link-local address.  Now bisecting...
The following patch seems to be the cause for this regression.

[IPV6] ROUTE: Do not route packets to link-local address on other device.

Right.  Hmm...
Well, 2.6.21 is coming.  I think it is better to revert it for now.
Current situation is more critical than the original.

Dave?
