IPV6 PD Support?

It looks like things start working if you get firmware V3.01.04. I believe they're in the process of rolling it out.

My netgear trial ipv6 modem is also running fw V1.34.04 (and has an uptime ~2 months, so it has been this way quite a while).

Is there some trick to getting newer firmware onto it?

It's not actually useful for anything with the current firmware.

And approximately 30 hours ago my netgear ipv6 test cable modem got updated to firmware version v3.01.04

So it seems like there's a rollout in progress.

(I've yet to test whether PD works though)

And in case anyone is curious, here's the scripts/setup I've been using to test/debug this.

[root@eonwe ip6]# cat stateless.sh

[root@eonwe ip6]# cat /etc/fedora-release
Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug)

[root@eonwe ip6]# which dhclient
/usr/sbin/dhclient

[root@eonwe ip6]# rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/sbin/dhclient
dhclient-4.2.7-2.fc20.x86_64

[root@eonwe ip6]# egrep -v '^#' < /var/run/dhclient6.eth0.9.conf
send dhcp-client-identifier = hardware;
request dhcp6.name-servers;

[root@eonwe ip6]# egrep -v '^#' < /var/run/dhclient6.eth0.9.pd.conf
send dhcp-client-identifier = hardware;

Preliminary testing suggest PD is functional now.

My setup is currently a little busted and thus I can't do proper testing, but I've confirmed that:

- I can now get a stateless DHCP reply (no change),

- and a stateful pd lease (for a /60 and apparently for 60 seconds)

- and ping6 from the outside internet for both the /64 and the /60 reach the relevant machine.

(unfortunately due to how I had to hack this into submission, I can't test the outgoing path without mucking with source routing which I don't have the heart for atm)
