Description

On 2.4.5 and 2.5.0, radvd is filling the routing.log with the following error:

Jan 20 11:17:10 ood radvd[90224]: IPv6 forwarding on interface seems to be disabled, but continuing anyway
Jan 20 11:17:17 ood radvd[90224]: IPv6 forwarding on interface seems to be disabled, but continuing anyway
Jan 20 11:17:34 ood radvd[90224]: IPv6 forwarding on interface seems to be disabled, but continuing anyway
Jan 20 11:17:40 ood radvd[90224]: IPv6 forwarding on interface seems to be disabled, but continuing anyway
Jan 20 11:17:48 ood radvd[90224]: IPv6 forwarding on interface seems to be disabled, but continuing anyway

Log messages appear to come at random intervals but usually around 10-15 seconds apart.

Happens on all platforms (amd64 and ARM)

As pointed out in #9577, this warning is harmless in FreeBSD.

Warning silenced in radvd-2.18_1.

radvd 2.18_1 is only showing up on Factory, and even there, the message is still in the logs, so something isn't quite right here.

radvd 2.18_2 fixes it for me.

Looks good here as well on CE and Factory.
