Public bug reported:
Description:
On a laptop with a MediaTek MT7922 Wi-Fi card (driver mt7921e, firmware
____000000-20240219103337), I cannot obtain a global IPv6 address.
The system sends Router Solicitations (RS), but never receives Router
Advertisements (RA), so IPv6 autoconfiguration (SLAAC) does not work.
Other devices on the same Wi-Fi network receive IPv6 addresses without issue
(tested with other Ubuntu and Windows machines).
Hardware:
Wi-Fi card: MediaTek MT7922 802.11ax PCI Express Wireless Network Adapter
Driver: mt7921e
Firmware: ____000000-20240219103337
Kernel: 6.11.0-24-generic (Ubuntu 24.04)
Distro: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Symptoms:
ip a shows only a fe80:: link-local address, no global IPv6.
sudo tcpdump -i wlp2s0 icmp6 shows outgoing Router Solicitations (RS), but
no incoming Router Advertisements (RA).
IPv6 works fine on other devices on the same network.
Disabling power management, firewall, and forwarding has no effect.
Problem persists after reboot, firmware update, and on different Wi-Fi
networks.
Relevant logs:

Steps to reproduce:
Install Ubuntu 24.04 on a laptop with MediaTek MT7922.
Connect to a Wi-Fi network with IPv6 enabled.
Observe the lack of global IPv6 address and no RA in tcpdump.
Expected behavior:
The Wi-Fi card should receive Router Advertisements and obtain a global IPv6
address automatically.
Actual behavior:
No RA received, no global IPv6 address.

The issue appears specific to the MediaTek MT7922 driver/firmware.
Tested with the latest available firmware.
Reproducible on multiple Wi-Fi networks.
