      I have a PPPoE link to my ISP set to DHCPv6 and I have set up my 2 LANs with their delegated ipv6 /64 addresses.  radvd works fine - my various devices auto configure themselves.

      However I can't get "out" from my network.  Looking at the routing tables on PF, I can't see a default gateway for ipv6.  Also I've noticed that under interfaces, my WAN shows its ipv4 gateway as an ipv6 address - fe80::203:97ff:fe16:c000%pppoe0.

      In the PPP log (see below) I can see two lines with -> in them.  The ipv4 one seems to show my WAN address and its next hop so I presume that the ipv6 one should be showing something similar.  However the WAN ipv6 address is 2001:8b0:1111:1111::442b.

      Could someone provide me with some pointers - is my PF just simply broken or have I mis-configured it in some way? Its running the latest snapshot: 2.1-DEVELOPMENT (i386)

        can you share the contents of the /tmp/router_* and /tmp/defaultgw* files?

        Those should have the default gateway address.

        Is this a system you are willing to provide access to?

          I can't see any files like that in /tmp.

          I'd be happy to provide you with access.
