Thank you for your answer. IIRC forwarding is only required for routing.
I use bridge mode.
You are right - it's working with promiscious mode enabled. 

Without:
2a01:198:200:8350:98ec:1708:c82e:a4fb dev br-lan  INCOMPLETE

With:
2a01:198:200:8350:98ec:1708:c82e:a4fb dev br-lan lladdr
52:54:00:8e:b9:eb REACHABLE

Is it really required to be enabled all the time to make it work?

Cheers,

Stefan
