Hi, there are several dispatcher events, documented at [1]. [1] https://networkmanager.dev/docs/api/1.32.8/NetworkManager-dispatcher.html one of them is "dhcp6-change" change, but I guess that even should also fire when we get new IPv6 addresses from a router. Or an alternative event could be added. That probably does not happen (yet), which might be a bug. It's also not entirely trivial, because probably that the event should only be emitted after the IPv6 addresses pass DAD and are no longer tentative. Note that the "up" event gets invoked when the device is logically connected. If you configure ipv6.may-fail=no, then that includes IPv6 to be ready (but it also makes it mandatory). There is also ipv6.required-timeout, which means to wait for IPv6 this long. This allows the user to better control what "up" means, but it's not a general solution for your dispatcher script, because that should work with any configuration. best, Thomas * _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
