Re: pf wants icmp6 protocol

[Jake Maciejewski <maciejej@xxxxxxxx>]

Is there any reason this hasn't been fixed? Am I using the wrong list?
I'm new to DragonFly and the whole patch submittal process, but this is
a trivial fix for a real, reproducible problem. The change exists in
Free, Net, and OpenBSD.

If copy-and-pasting the patch is the problem, you can find it at
http://people.msoe.edu/~maciejej/patches/dragonfly-protocols-icmp6.patch
