Package: wide-dhcpv6-client
Version: 20080615-11.1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch ipv6
The client wont assign a prefix-delegation (PD) address to a tun device since
it has no ethernet address. Debian introduced an option to specify the IFID
instead of using the EUI-64, so it should be acceptable to use devices without
an ethernet address.
