Hello,

I'm running FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE on my new desktop. It has the
following hardware:

- Intel Core 2 Duo 6400
- Asus P5B motherboard
- On-board Realtek NIC (8168B/8111B)

For some reason, it drops all incoming IPv6 packets. I can only SSH to
the machine using IPv6 when I run the following command:

$ ifconfig re0 promisc

Is this a known issue about these NICs?

No, I'm not aware of the issue.

The issue can happen on a NIC with incorrectly programmed ethernet
address. Would you show me dmesg/tcpdump output of your system?
Make sure to add -e option to tcpdump(1).


Yours,
