Hello everyone,
I run into a problem when I try to establish a connection when using ipv6 protocol on MC7354.
What I am using:
Embedded hardware (Allwinner A20, ARM Cortex A7) with Sierra Wireless modem MC7354. MC7354 has Verizon firmware installed.
Linux 3.19.0-rc6+ from Sunxi
uqmi from git, last snapshot from 2016-12-19
dhclient 4.36
Provider is Verizon with dual stack capability so I can use ipv4 and/or ipv6. APN is "vzwinternet".
Maybe I use the uqmi tool and/or dhclient in a wrong way ?
Here is my procedure for ipv4 connection that works:
uqmi --device=/dev/cdc-wdm0 --wda-set-data-format 802.3
uqmi --device=/dev/cdc-wdm0 --keep-client-id wds --start-network vzwinternet --ip-family ipv4
1137624840
uqmi --device=/dev/cdc-wdm0 --get-data-status
"connected"
uqmi --device=/dev/cdc-wdm0 --get-current-settings

Now my procedure for ipv6 connection that doesn't work:

}
Some curiosity: Every time I recall the "--get-current-settings" while "--get-data-status" is "connected" I get a new ipv6 address.
ifconfig wwan0 up (otherwise dhclient didn't find wwan0 interface)
Then dhclient fails:

I tried to set the interface wwan0 and the route manually with the shown settings from "--get-current-settings" but this seems not to work.
Any help would be appreciated.
