Am presently using Comcast native IPv4 and a 6to4 tunnel (provided by Comcast).

I want the network set up to automatically switch to native when Comcast quietly (...sigh!) adds or replaces the 6to4 with native.

<http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/ipv6# … pv6.access>
indicates that I need to specify my LAN IPv6 addressing - here's the example configuration from that document:

option ip6addr '2001:123:456:789::1/64'

I've not hardwired any local addresses. FWICT, RADVD sets this address automatically (after deactivating the ignore) on my 6to4 tunnel; so wouldn't it do the same under native?

If someone can confirm it (RADVD) will, I'll update the documentation to indicate this step is unnecessary - which should make things a lot less confusing.

The discussion might have continued from here.
