Bridging of IPv6 packets going between two hosts on either side of the bridge appears to work just fine (to the point where I can do ping6 and ssh across the bridge). > PS.

IPv6 ND requires multicast to work and there are several explicit checks for IFF_MULTICAST in the IPv6 output path and neighbor discovery code. Bruce.
