RA seems to be ignored

Hi,
on my IPv6 router I configured radvd as follows:
interface eth2 {
AdvSendAdvert on;
MinRtrAdvInterval 3;
MaxRtrAdvInterval 10;
prefix 2001:1418:12f:dead::/64 {
AdvOnLink on;
AdvAutonomous on;
AdvRouterAddr on;
};
};
and eth2 has got the following IP:
3: eth2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qlen 1000
inet6 2001:1418:12f:dead::1/64 scope global
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 fe80::204:75ff:fe52:211b/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
On client side accept_ra is set TRUE for eth0 and using radvdump I can correctly see incoming RAs:
interface eth0
{
AdvSendAdvert on;
# Note: {Min,Max}RtrAdvInterval cannot be obtained with radvdump
AdvManagedFlag off;
AdvOtherConfigFlag off;
AdvReachableTime 0;
AdvRetransTimer 0;
AdvCurHopLimit 64;
AdvDefaultLifetime 30;
AdvHomeAgentFlag off;
AdvDefaultPreference medium;
AdvSourceLLAddress on;
prefix 2001:1418:12f:dead::/64
{
AdvValidLifetime 2592000;
AdvPreferredLifetime 604800;
AdvOnLink on;
AdvAutonomous on;
AdvRouterAddr on;
}; # End of prefix definition
}; # End of interface definition
I was expecting an IP made up of [PREFIX]:[EUI-64] to be added to eth0, but this does not happen. For what I have read such scenario should be enough for the client to be able to autoconfigure an IP. Am wrong about this?
Am kind of newbie of IPv6 so hope not to have asked for stupid things.
Any ideas on what is wrong?
Thanks a lot

[FIXED] RA seems to be ignored

It got fixed by itself. This morning I started up my laptop and it autoconfigured an IP as I was expecting, and the same on all IPv6-enabled workstation. Don't know why yesterday it did not work!
Maybe the cause is that I was also making some test with dibbler, even if am sure
I stopped both dibbler on the client and the daemon on the router before trying autoconfigure via radvd. This doubt still remains...
Thanks to all
