I remember investigating on a similar problem mid 2010. The symptom
was the freescale board would not respond to a ping to its IPv6
address. The problem may be in the source of the FEC driver in the
linux kernel (Maybe a misconfiguration of the MAC, so it filters out
the Ethernet destination address of your NDP messages)
To put the interface eth0 in promisc mode, type as root on the device
"ifconfig eth0 promisc".
