Hi Andreas, I appreciate the work and detail you have put into this issue and apologize for my flawed preparation of the bug report in advance.

I observed the issue on my personal notebook which is the -only- system in my environment that does -not- run systemd-networkd for its lack of WPA support. I therefore filed this bug report against the wrong package.

I guess that systemd-sysctl is started too early. Having the 1 in accept_ra_rtr_pref doesn't change the route priority though, it still gets set up with priority medium. It might be interesting as well that accept_ra_rtr_pref has a functional default of "enabled" if accept_ra is enabled. I do have accept_ra set to 2. > Is there any chance your route wasn't actually set up by systemd-networkd? You're so right. I apologize.
