Question about MLDv2 implemenation in Kernel

[Bruce Simpson]

Hi,

Regarding RFC 6636, I don't know anything about it. It wasn't published
until last month, so MLDv2 in FreeBSD came 3 years before it.

Good catch, RFC 3810 5.1.5 vs line 877:
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/stable/8/sys/netinet6/mld6.c?revision=233201&view=markup

I'm not set up to do development for FreeBSD-CURRENT just now, as my
$DAYJOB project is targeted at 8.x.

But I will try to make time to spin HEAD up again, and commit a patch,
if someone else is willing to write and test it...
