One of the things that has come up is that Linux and Win32 support IPv5 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (RFC 2462).
On those platforms, when we connect to the IPv6 router, we are automatically assigned a global unique and routable IPv6
address. We thought that rtsold was the QNX piece that would do that for us, but nothing appears to happen. Instead we

This seems to work for me. Which version of io-pkt and which
driver are you running?
# sysctl -w net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv=1
net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv: 0 -> 1
# rtsold wm0
