Radvd wlan problems

Hi all,

I am trying to get radvd to broadcast router advertisements on a wireless interface (wlan0).

The wireless interface is running an ad-hoc wireless network. However, for some reason, radvd will say that wlan0 not running and refuse to start.

The only way I can get radvd to broadcast is if wlan0 is connected to a "real wireless network", for example my router.

Any ideas how I can get it to broadcast on a adhoc wireless link?

I am running the latest version (1.6)

Thanks!
