      @ermal:

      The option is with the description "Request a IPv6 prefix/information through the IPv4 connectivity link"

      Probably I need the same option for my M-Net FTTB connection. I'm running 2.1-RC0 (amd64)
      built on Mon Jul 22 15:44:15 EDT 2013 FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p8 but I can't find that option. Is this not yet in or do I use a wrong release?

        Ermal committed the new option 7 hours ago (as I type) and a build started about 3/4 hours ago. It looks like it is finishing just now. It should have a timestamp around 23 July 2013 10:00. Try that.

        As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."

          Thanks for your quick explanation I'll try the new snapshot, as soon as it gets pushed to the update server :-)

            Just signed up to say that this worked for me.

            IPv6 (native) from my ISP was working on 2.1 beta and broke when I went to the RC, came back straight away with whatever this setting does :)

              Unfortunately the amd64 build didn't get updated, it still has a last modified date of July 22nd

              Therefore I manually checked out the interface.inc and interface.php files and replaced them on the box. The interface.php had a whitspace_error but this was easily fixed. The option did then appear on my box and I checked it. I still didn't receive an ipv6 prefix. Maybe I did forget sth. to patch, so I will way until the snapshot-build gets officially updated.

              bye

                Just tested the latest snapshot. (built on Wed Jul 24 15:12:27 EDT 2013 ).
                I can confirm that both options work as expected.

                X Request a IPv6 prefix/information through the IPv4 connectivity link
                X Only request a IPv6 prefix, do not request a IPv6 address

                both options checked. IPv6 is working again without changing the config/interfaces.inc manually.

                The only thing that is left is that after a reboot the dhcp6c daemon is not started automatically.
                I think there is another thread about it.

                I will do some testing but in the meanwhile I'll make a shellscript that checks if the daemon is running. If not it will (re)start it.

                  @avink,

                  the issue you have is not related to this.
                  Can you please open another thread with more details.

                    I will.

                    But I want do do some checking before I do so.
                    Need to do a FW reboot to check but there are too many people relying on an active connection now.
                    Need to schedule this for this afternoon (CET)

                      I was away for a little while, what a nice surprise seeing that this is solved and multiple people even took time to test/register to confirm this.

                      Great job all and thanks a lot, i will update my firewall tonight to see if this is fixed.

                      PS, also have the dhcp6c not starting problem so i will update in a new thread as well. (and offc. test).

                        Just installed the latest build, like the rest i can confirm that everything is solved !

                        PS, DHCP6C still isnt started, but thats not really a problem for me at the moment, would still require some investigation.
