Comment (by johnllyon@…):
This ticket should be marked as closed or resolved. The cause of this
error message was due to a misconfiguration in the /etc/config/dhcp6c
file. I had the enabled option on the first line set to "0" instead of
"1." Making this change solved my problem. I can't believe I made such a
simple error, but it's easy to miss using the LUCI interface, and
sometimes when editing a text config file, you skip to the parts you care
about without analyzing the default settings.
A more technical explanation is that because dhcp6c was not enabled, ipv6
utilities could not make an ipv6 connection. Similarly, ipv6 addresses
were not being properly handed out. Now, I run the ping6 and traceroute6
utilities. Although these utilities timeout when trying to reach anything
outside my network, they work fine internally. So that is a different
issue (probably configuration related).
I hope this helps.
