Not if you set the accept_ra_rt_info_max_plen sysctl to >= 48 (and the
router implements RFC 7084 L-3). As far as I know, this sysctl is 0 by
default which causes the kernel to ignore RIOs.

I believe that Windows do accept RIOs by default so that's probably why
it worked for Brian. NetworkManager user-space RA processing will also
respect RIOs by default.
