IPv6 - sobind fails with 49

I am writing a kernel socket program which binds to a IPv6 address, so bind always fails with 49. Below is the code snippet I am using, is something wrong here? roundhay# uname -a FreeBSD roundhay 9.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE #2: Mon Apr 8 16:15:06 IST 2013 root@roundhay:/usr/obj/ho

I have a ipv6 interface(ping6 to a remove ipv6 works) when I try to bind to this address through a socket program "sobind" fails with "49" as return value. If I give "saddr6.sin6_addr = in6addr_any;" sobind works. Any idea what could be going wrong here? roundhay# ifconfig cxgbe1 cxgbe1:
