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.

http://forums.comcast.com/t5/Home-Networking-Router-WiFi/IPv6-DHCPv6-ia-na-and-ia-pd-REPLYs-from-separate-servers/td-p/2218954

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.

/sigh 8-)

Heh, fair enough.
Could you at least test dhcpcd fully works with Comcast *without* that option please? Other ISPs could behave the same way and I'd like to know if this works or not :)

Thanks!
