From 7a02bf892d8f1e5298af1676f001bee410509d80 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Thu, 4 Feb 2016 13:31:20 +0100 Subject: ipv6: add option to drop unsolicited neighbor advertisements In certain 802.11 wireless deployments, there will be NA proxies that use knowledge of the network to correctly answer requests. To prevent unsolicitd advertisements on the shared medium from being a problem, on such deployments wireless needs to drop them. Enable this by providing an option called "drop_unsolicited_na".
