Error in configuration file comments regarding IPv6 networking #208

Open lonerzzz opened 4 years ago

lonerzzz commented 4 years ago

In the freelan.cfg file, there is a comment for the ipv6_address_prefix_length parameter that indicates:

"Commenting out, will result in no IPv6 networking. You cannot supply a blank value."

This is incorrect or incomplete. In fact, a default IPv6 address will be assigned meaning conflicts will occur unless an IPv6 address is provided on each node.

I cannot reproduce this one (on GNU/Linux at least).

@lonerzzz Is your assigned IPv6 address is a link-local ones (in fe80::/64 range) ? Please note that link-local address will always be configured (except if you echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf//disable_ipv6). And IPv6 conflicts will be resolved thanks to Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) stuff from NDP.
