ipv6 rip doesn't recieve route updates from neighbors

hi. I've had this problem for some time. I've tried to get ipv6 working with bird. I'm fairly certain there are no problems with multicasting in my setup. When I set two birds against each other they are sending correct rip packets to the other bird, I can hear those packets come to the interface but for some reason they do not get to bird or the rip protocol doesn't import them into the routing table. did anyone actually get bird working with ipv6? thanks mk -- printk(KERN_WARNING "Hey who turned the DMA off?\n"); linux-2.6.6/drivers/net/wan/z85230.c
