If Ethereal is causing MIPv6 handovers to fail, this is probably a Linux
kernel networking problem, rather than an Ethereal problem; it would
probably occur if you were using tcpdump rather than Ethereal.

You should ask the linux-net mailing list about it (mention that
Ethereal uses libpcap, which uses PF_PACKET sockets).
