My (static) IPv6 prefix is assigned by my ISP via DHCPv6 prefix delegation. Currently, the radvd init script is configured to start during boot so as to advertise over the eth0 interface. The problem this creates, however, is that radvd starts before wide-dhcpv6-client assigns an address to eth0.
Aug 31 06:58:12 jdc radvd[3671]: no auto-selected prefix on interface eth0, disabling advertisements One solution would be to start radvd in /etc/ppp/ipv6-up.d/somescript but there may be better ways. I am trying to avoid actually specifying the address anywhere in the network configuration, so that if a different prefix is ever advertised, everything will still work. I don't expect my ISP to change its address allocation, and if that did happen I would still need to update the DNS entries, but reducing the dependencies in the configuration still has an advantage.
