Right. Linux has good support for it. But a Nokia Gateway 3 ONT<br>
fiber modem? Not so much as it turns out!<br>

Oh there has been a terrible misunderstanding! I have IPv6 to my<br>
house Noika ONT fiber modem. But the Nokia just seems buggy providing<br>
it to my machines. By machines I mean my Devuan/Debian machine or my<br>
FreeBSD machine. I set up an Ubuntu 24.04 as a "standard system" in<br>
order to have a dedicated debug system.<br>

As you can see I have IPv6 addresses. Lots of IPv6 addresses. Several<br>
more than I need. Now if they were all WORKING addresses then I would<br>
have something!<br>
<br>
It's a similar problem on FreeBSD and my other Linux kernel machine<br>
too. Two different operating systems are giving basically the same<br>
results makes me think the problem is not in them but in the Nokia.<br>
