Although we see RA's with a non-link-local source IP (bad), some more
verbose output (tcpdump -vv) would've been nice. Here's a proper
exchange (`tcpdump -nepvvs 1500 -i fxp0 icmp6`, in my case) :

| What interface configuration specifics would be useful?

Mostly, the output of `ifconfig vic0` on the rtadvd machine, but in
general it's better to give more details than less. The less
assumptions we have to make (are there other machines on his network ? 
does he have 'interesting' pf rules ? are his sysctls set properly ?
etc etc), the better we're able to help you.
