Hello Michiel!

I had to set the IPv6 address of my Linux system's Ethernet connection 
manually; once I did that radvd takes care of the router advertisements, and a 
Windows 7 Ultimate laptop was able to SLAAC a working IPv6 address.  In fact, 
it passes test-ipv6.com's test suite with a score of 10/10.

I still need to cleanup my startup/shutdown scripts a bit, but it's working 
fine.

Regards,

Andrew
