IPv6 from Android devices still broken

[rmayr]

Unfortunately, https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?msg=262791 seems to apply to 26.1 as much as to the 25 series. I have now tried to switch from dnsmasq (which has another bug with SAs, to be reported separately) back to radvd and KEA for DHCPv6, plugging in a carp.d hook script to only let radvd run on the respective master.

This seems stable for my desktop devices, but Android devices, though they consistently get a SLAAC pair of addresses, fail to connect.

Is https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=280701 supposed to apply to 26.1 kernels? Has the whole patch set been reverted or is it supposed to be fixed?

We do not really know and they made it clear they really do not care.

I still think FreeBSD users suffer more from this than OPNsense users ever did.

I'm sure you don't say that lightly but it reads a bit nonchalantly in text.  Is there reassurance for users w.r.t upstream support?  😅
