hi. after speaking to some other developers, it seems that that commit message was slightly misleading. ip6 is handled for umb like for everything. you can use static or the autoconf method. "inet6 eui64" is if you just want link level address (i am advised!) so whatever works for you, fine, but it is not that umb is a special case. having said that, we're discussing whether the page warrants an example config or not... glad you got it working though, and great you managed to dig through commit logs to find answers! jmc
