Patch is based on work by tiggerswelt.net. They say:
"
We wanted udhcpc6 to release its IPv6-Addresses on
quit (-R-commandline-option) which turned out to generate once again
kind of garbage on the network-link.
We tracked this down to two issues:
- udhcpc6 uses a variable called "srv6_buf" to send packets to
the dhcp6-server, but this variable is never initialized correctly
and contained kind of a garbage-address
- The address of the dhcp6-server is usually a link-local-address,
that requires an interface-index when using connect() on an AF_INET6-
socket
We added an
additional parameter for ifindex to d6_send_kernel_packet() and made
d6_recv_raw_packet() to capture the address of the dhcp6-server and
forward it to its callee.
"
