I applied both patches and the results were good. Thanks for the quick patch!
NOTE: because of the way comcast works, if you put this into use you should regenerate/refresh your DUID by deleting /etc/dhcpcd.duid and then running dhcpcd --duid. Comcast will keep giving you the previous ::/64 prefix if you use the previous DUID.
I would make one thing more clear in the documentation.In the syntax ia_pd X interface0/identifier/prefix its not clear that "prefix" is the final desired prefix.
In my first go I tired "ia_pd 3/::/60 int0/1/4" because the previous error messages were in the form "x:y:z:n::/64 + 1/4" so I thought the second prefix was added to the first. (I think the actual way it works is more correct, I was just confused by the "+" semantics in the error message.)
It didn't take me long to figure out that I wanted ia_pd 3/::/60 intX/1/64 intY/2/64and so forth. It might be nice to add another example to the man page with potential yields. Particularly for something other than intN/X/64 (say an intN/X/62 that might be further subdivided deeper within the site).
