By default, eCos expects an IPv6 router advertisent server, such as
radvd, on the network. This allows the IPv6 host to make its own IP
address from the network portion advertised in the rputer advert and
the MAC address for the lower part of the IP address.
Either starically configure the IPv6 addresses or start a radvd
daemon.
