[HEADS UP] dhcpcd-5.6.1 imported
Hi List
This is a heads up to say that dhcpcd-5.6.1 has been imported into
-current with these changes:
Improve IPv6 RA support by allowing dhcpcd to manage addreses and
routes instead of the kernel. dhcpcd will only do this if RA has been
disabled in the kernel or instructed to do so via the dhcpcd.conf(5)
ipv6ra_own and/or ipv6ra_owndefault directives.
Send and process IPv6 Neighbor Solicitions and Adverts to prove router
reachability. If a router cannot be reached in this way then it is
expired.
I would ask any users of IPv6 RA to test dhcpcd to check that it works
with the kernel handling addressing/routing and then transfer control
over to dhcpcd.
One day, ipv6ra_own could become a default setting if dhcpcd proves
robust and correct so testing now is good!
Also, the same codepath will be used when dhcpcd grows DHCPv6 support.
Thanks
Roy
