Description
```
Description: IPv6 requires that the Ethernet driver support NuttX address
filter interfaces. Several Ethernet drivers do support there,
however. Others support the address filtering interfaces but
have never been verified:
C5471, LM3S, ez80, DM0x90 NIC, PIC, LPC54: Do not support
address filtering.
Kinetis, LPC17xx, LPC43xx: Untested address filter support
Status: Open
Priority: Pretty high if you want a to use IPv6 on these platforms.
```
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the Ethernet drivers for C5471, LM3S, ez80, DM0x90 NIC, PIC, LPC54, Kinetis, LPC17xx, and LPC43xx, then read the NuttX address-filter interfaces they expose. Done means the unsupported or unverified drivers have appropriate IPv6 address-filter support or documented verification results.
