When a successful neighbor advertisement is received, the ethernet address should be saved for later use to avoid having to redo the neighbor discovery process.
For example, with TFTP the address should get saved into "net_server_ethaddr". This is being done correctly with ARP for IPv4, but not for neighbor discovery with IPv6.
