No, but several gif-Interfaces. The interface I have troubles with
receiving MLD messages is a plain ethernet, vr(4).

No packets are dropped according to tcpdump, but it still doesn't work.

Should that help when no packets are dropped? I can see no obvious error
messages in syslog. Even setting the debug level to 'loud' doesn't give
me anything. I would assume that pf is dropping because of the router
alert option set in MLD messages (see the dump).

No changes for != stf, right?
