Fond memories of pulling my hair out late at night, whistling down empty holes, unanswered cries for help in the IPv6 wilderness... Turned out to be a kernel module bug for my via-velocity gigabit ethernet NIC. The VIA Velocity 6122 gigabit chip doesn't support offloaded TCP checksumming under IPv6, but the via-velocity driver distributed with Fedora doesn't make any provision for that -- it assumes offloaded TCP checksumming is always appropriate, no matter the protocol. I filed a bug over at bugzilla. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=173760 Jay
