Yes :-). I figured that after I added debugging to pinpoint it
;-).
I always saw that message in the log but I thought that's some
new warning about other devices bugs.
The message as it is right now, states something is wrong, and
please go find out yourself :-).
It would be handy if it could be either quiet "Yes, I know it can
fail but it's usually right", or stack trace it once every...
The use of ipv6_find_hdr is not that widespread yet. And in the
current case the IPPROTO_ICMPV6 is the only test in the kernel
that searches for a non ext hdr.
To be clear: if I look at my 1200+ client wireless network the
ipv6 takes up 30% of the traffic. That means ipv6 gets more and
more important (== more code) and a clear understanding of
ipv6_find_hdr is important.
Thanks for all the work guys!

Ard van Breemen
