Description of problem: For some reason some of my boxen are member of the wrong solicited node IPv6-multicast group. This is not i high priority bug, but it seems to be a bug none the less and should probably be fixed at some stage. I can see it on multiple hardware platforms and kernel version, but not consistently on all, so it might be a driver problem in some network cards, or related to something else. I can see it on an internal server still running FC9 - kernel-2.6.25.14-108.fc9.x86_64, but also on my laptop running F22 So it is a long standing bug. Reporting it against the latest version as I guess that is most relevant. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-4.1.7-200.fc22.x86_64 How reproducible: Always, on some platforms Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable IPv6 2. 3. Actual results: # ip -f inet6 maddr show wlp3s0 | grep ff02::1:ff inet6 ff02::1:ff00:0 users 2 inet6 ff02::1:ffb5:d2ae users 2 Expected results: The host should NOT be a member of ff02::1:ff00:0, only ff02::1:ffb5:d2ae Also notice that it reports "users 2" for both the groups. Additional info: The wireless card in question here is Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7265 (rev 59) The older server with the same symptom runs a nVidia motherboard with an integrated network controller, with the forcedeth driver. But another host, running F20 (kernel 3.18.9-100.fc20.x86_64) and a "Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 03)" on the same LAN is NOT member of this group. If i google for "inet6 ff02::1:ff00:0 users 2" I get a couple of hits, but nobody seems to have noticed or reported it as a bug.
*********** MASS BUG UPDATE ************** We apologize for the inconvenience. There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale.

If you have moved on to Fedora 23, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 23. If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.
The issue still exists in the latest kernel: $ uname -sr Linux 4.2.3-200.fc22.x86_64 $ ip -f inet6 maddr show wlp3s0 4: wlp3s0 inet6 ff02::fb inet6 ff02::1:ff00:0 inet6 ff02::1:ffb5:d2ae (...)
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
