I am using NetworkManager to manage my connections and wide-dhcpv6-client for
prefix delegation.
Now I found an issue that the IPv6 addresses assigned to my LAN
interfaces are not cleared when the internet connection goes down. So
after the interface comes back, there will be multiple addresses
assigned to a LAN interfaces and break the IPv6 connectivity.
I found that part is managed by a script `dhcp6c-ifupdown`. By
default, NetworkManager dispatches its connection updown events to
ifupdown but it seems to me that it maps connection `down` event to
`if-post-down.d` instead of `if-down.d`. So simply moving the symlink from
`if-down.d` to `if-post-down.d` will make it compatible with
NetworkManager.
I created a PR at
https://github.com/rogers0/packaging_wide-dhcpv6/pull/1 but it seems to
me this package hasn't been updated for a while. Could you help take a
look and help make the change happen? Let me know if you have any
concerns.
Thanks,
Yuxiang Zhu
