One issue with this is that distributions like RHEL don't open DHCPv6 in the default firewall policy. On Mar 4, 2011 7:17 AM, "Jay Cornwall" <jay () jcornwall me uk> wrote:

NetworkManager 0.8.3, to be shipped in the upcoming Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty) seems to do the right thing, including using the OtherConfig-Flag in RA to trigger a stateless DHCPv6 request. Haven't tested stateful yet.I've tested stateful configuration and it works correctly (with stateless/stateful and stateful only) in NetworkManager with ISC DHCP 4. The DHCP client uses a dynamic DUID based on the link-local address and time. That's not quite as flexible as WIDE or Dibbler. -- Jay Cornwall http://www.jcornwall.me.uk/
