As I responded before, though you may not have seen it, you need to put
the device in "multicast promiscuous mode" by setting the IFF_ALLMULTI
interface flag (SIOCSIFFLAGS). Then you should receive all multicasts for
all groups (and all protocols) sent on that network. If you create the
socket as you described, your program should receive all ICMPv6
multicasts sent to any group.
In MLDv2, it's much easier. All reports are sent to the "all multicast
routers" multicast address, so you can simply join that group.
