[ECOS] global addressing in ecos

[matthew de veza]

Thanks for the reply. Actually only a small percentage out of the entire set 
of tests for Stateless Address Autoconfiguration passed, and these mainly 
are involved with link-local addresses only. There are instances wherein the 
NUT does not reply to tester node queries, and a lot of the Duplicate 
Address Detection tests failed.

We used the TCP Dump to analyze the packets being sent in the network, but 
the ecos target does not seem to recognize the global prefix being sent to 
it, or sometimes the target does not give an echo-reply. A lot of the tests 
would fail with a "NUT Address not configured" error.

Would anyone know why this is the case? Or can anyone tell us what we can do 
to enable the target to "read" the global add. prefix to be able to set the 
global address? Or does anyone know if this can actually be done?

Thank you.
