Hello.
I'm just trying to debug the message
dhcpcd[<PID>]: dhcp6_start: <interface>: Protocol not available
that appears if a Cubietruck running Arch Linux tries to connect to an
IPv6-enabled router, right after receiving Router Advertisements.
Obviously the problem behind the message must be related to DHCPv6. But
neither dhcpcd nor the upstream router are at fault imo as the message
can't be seen if other devices running Arch Linux i686 or x86-64 connect
to the same router. Moreover, it makes no difference whether the
connection is established via WLAN or Ethernet. I also tried to find
differences in the packages installed and Kernel config files used in
the different flavours of Arch Linux but without success.
So I would like to ask whether You could give me a hint at the exact
meaning of the said message.
Thanks in advance,
Peter Mattern
