OHHHHHHHH! I’ve been misunderstanding the documentation all along and putting the dhcp6_ //before// “option” and “nooption.” I assume, then, than it’s actually supposed to be “nooption dhcp6_name_servers”, not “dhcp6_nooption name_servers?” LOL [hangs head in shame]

Well the problem is probably moot now, since I was putting the dhcp6_ in the wrong place. Nevertheless, that _was_ my entire dhcpcd.conf file above. I’ll respond to the other thread with long information, because that’s the only problem I’m still having.
