Hi,

For those people that are tracking the current 2.1 DEVELOPMENT branch
because they need IPv6 support.

I've just committed a number of changes that should make it possible to
use the DHCP6 client with Prefix Delegation.

For example: On the WAN interface, select "IPv6 configuration type" "DHCP6".

You can then select the Prefix Delegation size as provided by your ISP.
The most common sizes are listed here, being 48, 52, 56, 60 and 64.
The DHCPv6 Unique Identifier (DUID) field is not used yet, ignore it.

Save this configuration and it should start the DHCPv6 client on that
interface. This should also work properly for people on PPPoE which is
currently the largest active base that deploys DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation.

On the LAN interface you can select "IPv6 configuration type" "Static IPv6".

You can configure a IPv6 address here of fe80::1/64 since it's used for
prefix delegation. The drop down below the address allows you to select
a network ID from the prefix delegation.

So, if the ISP gives you a 2001:db8:aaaa::/48 network you could select
"7" from this list. The Prefix Delegation process would then configure
the prefix 2001:db8:aaaa:7::/64 on the LAN. The number selected from the
drop down is reflected here.

Kind regards,

Seth Mos
