This has been fixed, with some minor modifications to the patch, as we still need to check for header size (without option), and we need to reject packets that require the option but it is not present.

Thank you Phillip for the contribution.

Quoting RFC2461 Section 4.4:

"When responding to unicast solicitations, the option can be omitted since the sender of the solicitation has the correct link- layer address; otherwise it would not have be able to send the unicast solicitation in the first place."


lwip drops NA-Packets without this option which breaks compatibility with Linux' default setting.
