Hi,
Since upgrading to FreeBSD 8.3, I noticed that after rtadvd starts, it
does not respond to router solicitations during a quite long time.
I have made a patch which speeds up rtadvd's start by making fewer calls
to if_indextoname. Moreover, it will react properly in case
if_indextoname fails.
Would anyone object to this patch ?
