The Ubee "router" is in bridge mode. Customers have ZERO access to the thing, even when it is running in routed mode. So I have no idea what it's trying to do. All I can say is no RAs are coming from it (through it/whatever) It *could* be it's blocking it -- it's multicast, so who knows what it's doing with it. Without RAs, nothing connected to it will even attempt IPv6 -- the RA being the indicator to use DHCP or not, and who's the router.

And further, when I tell my Cisco 1841 to do DHCP anyway, I get no answer.

So, the blanket statement that "it's ready" isn't true.
