PPPoE IPv6 wan_6 proto none

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Any hints as to why the following config doesn't work on a self compiled image, but ok on official? The only clue i have is that proto gets set to "none" in ifstatus, whereas in the working version it gets set to "dhcpd6". Is there a package/proto missing?

network.loopback=interface

network.lan.ip6ifaceid='::1'
network.lan.dns='192.168.1.1'
network.lan.ip6assign='60'
network.wan=interface
network.wan.ifname='eth1.2'
network.wan.proto='pppoe'
network.wan.username='xxx'
network.wan.password='xxx'
network.wan.keepalive='3 5'
network.wan.ipv6='auto'
network.wan6=interface
network.wan6.ifname='eth1.2'
network.wan6.proto='dhcpv6'

You can try some kind of workaround:

uci set network.wan_6="interface"
uci set network.wan_6.ifname="@wan"
uci set network.wan_6.proto="dhcpv6"
uci commit network
/etc/init.d/network restart

It can also be a bug if you are building from the master branch:
Iptables uses wrong interface on boot

19.07 based, but thanks for something to try.
I've used a similar config but I used ethx.x for the ifname. Is using pppoe-wan there important or going to have a different result?
In this scenario IPv6 should be set to 1 as we are now manually controlling wan_6?

It should be since the PPP interface is built upon Ethernet.
And you want to configure DHCPv6 on the PPP interface.

Unfortunately I have no PPPoE to verify this.

@lantis1008 I have @wan as the interface value for network.wan6.ifname. That works just fine for my PPPoE IPv6 connection.

I'll try that as well thanks.
I don't have a pppoe connection to test unfortunately.

If someone has a recipe for a pppoe test server (dual stack) I'd be very appreciative. I've got ipv4 working (not very well) but that's it.

I’m still seeing this with one particular users connection and I have no idea how to debug it.
The common theme is “proto none” showing up in the ifstatus for wan_6.

We can take a properly working Openwrt 21.02 image and copy it’s network config over to the self compiled one, and it will result in the error.
As far as I can figure out there’s no networking related packages missing.

Is anyone intimately familiar with netifd able to offer any clues?

Actually, that looks suspicious... i'm hoping that isn't the cause because that means i haven't spotted it in 12 months.

EDIT:
Whoops... case closed.
