There is a bug in dhcpcd in 7.6-release that makes it so the IPv6 prefix
delegation expires before renewal.
https://github.com/NetworkConfiguration/dhcpcd/issues/368
There was a bug fix that was implemented upstream
https://github.com/NetworkConfiguration/dhcpcd/commit/6cb9e8b74f033afdf1b4f29cd5b9943268a32a60
The diff is small, only 3 lines according to the commit. Currently, as
an Xfinity
user, my prefix delegation expires now since my upgrade to 7.6 and I
have to occasionally
restart dhcpcd to keep it/get it back. The fix made it into dhcpcd
10.1.0, but 7.6-release
is on 10.0.10. Is it possible to get this fix into 7.6-stable or get
dhcpcd 10.1.0 ported to 7.6-stable?
I made a patches/patch-src_dhcp6_c file for the port. Built it and
running now to see if that solves the issue.
