FWIW,
multicast/v6 is still broken on zd1211rw on 2.6.22.1 based Fedora 7
kernel (2.6.22.1-33.fc7).

6 (kernel 2.6.20, no mac80211) it was OK.
I get "wlan0: duplicate address detected!" on dmesg when the kernel is trying
to autoconfigure a global address.
I suppose this is caused by the IPv6 stack seeing my own ICMPv6 neighbor
solicitation and thinking it was originated by someone else:

Strangely, the same error isn't printed with the link-local address which
uses the same EUI-64.
z1211rw Wiki seems to imply that this might be an issue in generic mac80211
code:

It'd be nice to get this fixed. Or has it already been?
