  +kurrat 326 : uname -a
  Linux kurrat 3.13.0-65-generic #105-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 21 18:50:58 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  Adding a host route for the 2001:: IP via the link IP on kailan works
  as a workaround, but the neighbor solicitiation packets are clearly
  not getting through the bridge.

  No firewall is configured on kurrat.
