#20484: setting PPPoE as connection method for 'wan' should set interface for
'wan6' too

Component:  luci          |    Version:  Trunk
 Keywords:  dhcpv6, ipv6  |
--------------------------+-------------------
 i upgraded to CC 15.05 today and i found out that if i set the wan
 interface to PPPoE mode then IPv6 seems broken and i won't get any error
 messages in the log about why...

 i removed "option src_port 547 " from the firewall config... that did not
 help... until i figured that the router was not trying to use the PPPoE
 connection for IPv6...

 my provider serves dual stack IPv4 and IPv6 via the same PPPoE connection
 and when i switched the wan interface to PPPoE mode the router didn't even
 bother to suggest/ask that i should use it for wan6 too... and did not
 even include the wan(pppoe) interface in the list of available
 adapters...all the IPv6 connectivity was dead...

 fortunately i had some old saved tar.gz configuration files around and i
 figured i had to manually change the wan6 configuration in the
 /etc/config/network

 this is working for IPv6 via the PPPoE connection established by the main
 wan:

 {{{
 config interface 'wan6'
         option ifname '@wan'
         option _orig_ifname '@wan'
         option _orig_bridge 'false'
         option proto 'dhcpv6'
         option reqprefix 'auto'
         option reqaddress 'try'

 }}}

 (before tweaking it, it was trying to use eth0 instead of the @wan pppoe
 connection)


 please tweak the interface logic so that when pppoe is selected for wan
 the router should ask if it should also use the same connection for wan6
