      Whenever I am performing any change on the gateway or gateway groups I get the following error after hitting the apply button:

      I am troubleshooting a problem with the IPv6 Delegated Prefix I receive via the WAN#1 PPPoE connection, which currently does not seem to be routed to the Internet. The PPPoE IPv6 interface address is being routed correctly to the Internet, but the delegated prefix my provider assigns to me and gets distributed to the LAN is not being routed. I am trying to figure if there is any connection between the error message above and the routing problem before I open a ticket with my provider.

      The IPv6 routing table does show a default gateway:

      Destination 	Gateway 	Flags 	Refs 	Use 	Mtu 	Netif 
      default 	fe80::1%pppoe1 	UGS 	0	7526	1492	pppoe1

      Manually running the command gives the following output. It seems that the command is missing the scope.

      [2.1-BETA0][admin@buh-pfsense.localdomain]/root(15): /sbin/route change -inet6 default fe80::1
      route: writing to routing socket: Network is unreachable
      route: writing to routing socket: Network is unreachable
      change net default: gateway fe80::1: Network is unreachable
      [2.1-BETA0][admin@buh-pfsense.localdomain]/root(16): /sbin/route change -inet6 default fe80::1%pppoe1
      change net default: gateway fe80::1%pppoe1
      [2.1-BETA0][admin@buh-pfsense.localdomain]/root(17):

        Strange, it's supposed to add the scope, need to look the code through to see what's happening

            I'm still having this issue. Can anyone suggest a way to find out what is causing this? I have IPv6 disabled for the moment but I'm still seeing this issue:

            Aug 18 23:58:13 	php: rc.filter_configure_sync: The command '/sbin/route change -inet6 default fe80::1' returned exit code '1', the output was 'route: writing to routing socket: Network is unreachable route: writing to routing socket: Network is unreachable change net default: gateway fe80::1: Network is unreachable'
