This is only vaguely on topic, and certainly doesn't provide an
immediate solution for the original query, but it's worth announcing
that I'm starting to think seriously about adding DHCPv6 support to
dnsmasq. My current thoughts are that I'll also add basic
router-advertisement support too, for an "all in one" IPv6 solution for
little-plastic-routers.
I was talking to the head of one of the more technically savy ISPs here
in the UK last month and he said that the one thing stopping them from
deploying IPv6 is a lack of consumer-grade routers that do it properly,
so this is my contribution to solving that problem.
Holey carp, man; that's AWESOME news. That would save the need for
shoehorning 1-2 more packages into sometimes meager space. I use SLAAC
rather than DHCPv6 (for now), but largely because I can't be bothered to
install yet another blob of software for minimal added functionality.
(There's also the pesky subject of client support, but that's only going
to get better.)
Very happy to hear -- thanks! I'm looking forward to this.
