dhcp6c 1.2.0 reports that IA address option: opt_26, len 25 is malformed when requesting an IPv6 prefix. In 1.0.22 it correctly gets the IPv6 prefix. Wireshark doesn't report any problems with the packet dump. My config file: /etc/dhcp6c.conf: interface ppp0 { request prefix-delegation; iaid 0; prefix-delegation-interface eth0; }; Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 256720 [details, diff] dhcpv6-1.2.0_pack_dhcp6_types.patch A patch that fixes the bug
Thanks for the patch. I apologize it too us so long to respond. According to the website, dhcpv6 is not being developed any more IMPORTANT! Tuesday, September 22, 2009: No new development will be happening on this project. dhcpv6 has been obsoleted by ISC dhcp version 4.1.0 and later. Previous stable versions will receive security and bug fixes and periodic new releases may be made for older distributions, but as for new development, the project is shut down. So maybe it is time for you to migrate to net-misc/dhcp and for us to mask and remove dhcpv6
gone
