[PATCH] IPv6: Source Address of MLD Message

From: $B5HF#1QL@(
Date: Thu Oct 17 2002 - 22:52:15 EST

Hi!

draft-ietf-magma-mld-source-02.txt clarifies that the source address of
MLD Report / Done Message MUST be unspecified address when a link-local
address is not available. This patch follows this clarification.

This patch is against 2.4.20-pre10.

Thanks in advance.
