I have seen exactly this same behavior using Netatalk with the Intel EEPro netcard. According to the Netatalk docs, the EEPro doesn't handle multicast properly. Does IPv6 use use multicast?
From the Netatalk README.ASUN:
problems with appletalk: certain ethernet card/drivers don't deal well with the fact that appletalk aggressively uses hardware multicast. here are a few ones that may cause problems: ne2000 clones 3Com501 cards (maybe others) intel etherexpress/pro set multicast_filter_limit=3 in linux if you're having problems with this card. to do that, add the following line to /etc/conf.modules: options eepro100 multicast_filter_limit=3
