Yeah, PPP is not really a requirement for us, although it would be convenient
to have it for testing. As a matter of fact, I would already have trialed
atmodem support for IPv6 but that was blocked because of the lack of IPV6CP
support in oFono PPP implementation. Too bad.

Ok. Can you outline your concerns so we can talk about them?

I'd like to progress with this. We also have people who are keen to help out on
the connman side. Just sitting and waiting for better times is not really an
approach I'd prefer to take.
Currently, we only discussing whether the "Interface" setting is needed
separately in IPv4 and IPv6 settings or not. That's a minor detail as far as I
am concerned. For now, allowing separate network interfaces for IPv4 and IPv6
is convenient for testing the IPv6 support on current modems. If it turns out
to be hugely difficult to manage separate interface on connman side, we can
always restrict the approach and drop support for older modems when rel8 modems
are available.
