I'm running FreeBSD version 3.2, and I'v installed the KAME SNAP
patches from 02 August 1999.

I've been able to run IP6 fairly successfully on my local Ethernet, but
when I arranged a 6over4 tunnel to the 6bone, I find that the system
is completely confused about the incoming packets.  I ping6 the other
end of my tunnel, and tcpdump correctly reports the encapsulated
echo requests and echo replies, but my kernel gives me a pile of

icmp6_input: unknown type <n>

where n is a random number apparently between 0 and 255, for each
echo request.  Is there anyone else out there using FreeBSD 3.2 and
KAME who has seen this?  Should I revert to FreeBSD 3.1 just so I
can get an official KAME release?

(Ping6 and tcpdump handle the unencapsulated packets on the local
ethernet without difficulty.)
