I noticed that about five minutes before I saw your reply (and after I spent the last couple of days trying). Cheers. I did read the faq, I guess I assumed DHCPv6 would be part of base. I suspect a conscious decision not to write a client. DHCPv6 seems to be a "necessity" for ISPs to apply current economic models that differentiate between dynamic hosts and static hosts. > You /may/ be able to do it with dhcp6c from the wide-dhcpv6 > package.

My ISP has a thread for this and a few people are reporting success (OpenBSD plus WIDE plus PPPoE). They might be installing WIDE from source. I don't know. > You might like to try asking on misc@ as you're more likely to > find someone who has already done this there. Although I'm itching for IPng it would have been experimental only. I think I'll wait till my ISP starts handing out static addresses.
