Yes, my isp's warning surprised me too but the appearance of the ipv6cp
spamming the exact same day of my upgrade is kind of weird.

Thank you for this advice but even when I do that my gateway throw a lot
of ICPV6CP requests.
# ifconfig pppoe0 -inet6
# ifconfig pppoe0
pppoe0: flags=28851<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,NOINET6>
mtu 1492
priority: 0
dev: vr0 state: session
sid: 0x82c PADI retries: 0 PADR retries: 0 time: 00:11:22
sppp: phase network authproto pap authname "xxxxxxxxxx"
groups: pppoe egress
status: active
inet xx.xx.xx.xx --> xx.xx.xx.xx netmask 0xffffffff
Here, we can see inet6 has been disabled on pppoe0. But I still get a
lot of IPV6CP requests on my logs :
07:59:10.825666 PPPoE-Session
code Session, version 1, type 1, id 0x082c, length 16
IPV6CP: Configure-Request, Interface-ID=0000:0000:0000:0001
07:59:10.825736 PPPoE-Session
code Session, version 1, type 1, id 0x082c, length 16
IPV6CP: Configure-Ack, Interface-ID=0000:0000:0000:0001
Any ideaB ?
