Thanks Roy! I kind of assumed from the changelog that the next release would quiet the logging somewhat. I wonder is this kind of "misconfiguration" common with (older?) Linux-based firewalls? (This one is ostensibly OpenWRT under the covers -- they used to allow telnet to a command line, but removed it some revisions ago.) I really need to replace it I guess. From my understanding now of the options given in the router UI it shouldn't be saying "DHCPv6 exists" when it is in the default "auto configure" mode, but I guess for some reason it does. -- Greg A.
