Hi Roy,
thanks! I was now able to compile dhcpcd. Dhcpcd was also now able to delegate to all of my interfaces an ipv6-subnet.
I've just a small question. For example, a dynamic ipv6-subnet could be: 2003:7b:9e6d:53::/56
When eth0 now receives an delegated /64 from dhcpcd, this could be like 2003:7b:9e6d:5312::1/64.

Can I affect this somehow? For example, I would like to <prefix>:dead::1/64 instead of <prefix><random>::1/64 be assigned to my interface.

Cheers
Conrad
