that would mean I can't remove isc dhcpv6 or the router advertisement service as it's enabled when tracking is enabled.

So it would seem that dnsmasq is not able to completely replace ISC yet?

Services: ISC DHCPv6: [LAN interface]: uncheck 'Enable'
Services: Router Advertisements: [LAN interface]: set Router Advertisements to 'Disabled'

Yip, they are configured exactly like that :-)

But then dnsmasq isn't assigning the ipv6 address is it?

... and?

sorry I don't mean to appear rude, but wasn't the point of migrating to dnsmasq to remove dependancy on ISC so it can be removed at the next major update?

thanks

I don't get your point, sorry.

This disables ISC DHCPv6. It stops the service. So there is no more dependency.
