Btw why are you using the ia_pd_mix flag? I thought that didn't work for
Comcast?

Uh, Comcast never responded to me but they seem to have quietly fixed their shit.

I put a "polite screed" on their forums a couple of weeks back that discussed the RFC and pointed them to this mailing list.

The tcpdump I just performed on a restart of dhcpcd shows the RFC-ishly correct single packet response instead of the previous multi-packet nonsense.

So, while a direct response would have been nice, the proper function is a happy enough outcome for me.

This now works with ia_pd_mix. But I now have no way to test the port alias code.
