Re: dhcpcd bge0 (or axe0) -6 cannot finish with my home router PR-S300HI

=> Hi,

=> PR-H300HI is Linux based router appliance, but I have no idea

   Are you sure the router does DHCPv6 at all? I wouldn't be surprised if
it did not, so dhcpcd would not get the response it was looking for. If
you just want IPv6 routing set up, I would add:

ip6mode="autohost"
rtsol="YES"  rtsol_flags="bge0"

to /etc/rc.conf and see how for that gets you. I'm not sure if NetBSD's
rtsol will configure DNS, so you may need to do that manually. If you
don't have a local IPv6 DNS server, you could try Google's at
2001:4860:4860::8888 and 2001:4860:4860::8844.

   Good luck...
