[CALL FOR TESTING] PPPoE restructuring and IPv6 improvements

[PhoenixRider]

What is the CLI-Command to only remove a Patch?

[Patrick M. Hausen]

Same as for applying. If the patch was applied, already, it will be reverted.

[franco]

Yes, but make sure to revert them in the right order if you have multiple ones applied that build on each other (like this series here) otherwise the revert will fail for the right reason and leave you with without a code change.


Cheers,
Franco

Is there any hope of CLAT support for 25.1? Without it atm a true IPv6 deployment isn’t possible without compatibility issues

[franco]

It's in ipfw(4) but no significant questions about it.

I'm not sure how long-term smart it is to add NAT support in ipfw(4) alongside pf(4). But that's a mildly related story.

Hey Franco, I'm back from holidays and saw this. I upgraded to 24.7.1 but my kernel panic remains. Should I try this patch and could you confirm the patch for 24.7.1 please?

Thank you!!

The patches here have nothing to do with kernel, posting to a wrong thread perhaps?

[Hendre]

Just asking to clarify. Thanks for letting me know it's not kernel related, will continue on the other thread!

My test:
- WAN: DHCPv6 - Prefix Delegation size: 64
- LAN: Track Interface - WAN
--> Result: this one happens frequently without any fix (I have read a lot about this one and try to do fix, it worked at previous version of OPNSense, but at this new version - nothing worked)
ISC DHCPv6/LAN:  Available range   No available address range for configured interface subnet size.

Please help.

Is there a new patch for 24.7.2 or is existing patch ok?
So far have reverted and applied 24.7.2

[meyergru]

On a side note: I have seen one strange behaviour with the new IPv6 implementation (possible the new dhcp6c version):

With one of my ISPs (Deutsche Glasfaser), who uses DHCP and DHCPv6, I got no more IPv6 assigned until I enabled "Use IPv4 connectivity". That was not neccessary before. No big deal, however, just wanted to share that info.

[franco]

But that's not a PPP(oE) deployment? The thing about IPv4 connectivity is that it is solely a PPP property but shown everywhere but practically useless.


Cheers,
Franco

[meyergru]

That I wondered also about: As I wrote: DHCP/DHCPv6 only, but still, without the option, no IPv6. Started with 24.7.2.

[franco]

It just needed a restart guess?

[meyergru]

When I changed the interface setting, it immediately picked up the IPv6. Did that on two machines. On the third, I changed the setting before the 24.7.2 upgrade, that worked as well. But never "had" to set that checkbox before.
