Description

I have successfully configured my router for DS-lite (NetCom BW, Germany) using PPPoE for initial WAN setup (IPv4 & IPv6 addresses). A GIF interface tunnels my private IPv4 addresses.

However, the tunnelled IPv4 connection stops working whenever rc.newwanip is called. It seems that the GIF-Interface is reconfigured before an IPv6 address has been retrieved.

If the GIF-interface has an IPv6 address as a remote peer then I think the GIF-tunnel should be reconfigured whenever rc.newwanipv6 is called.

I placed this code in rc.newwanipv6 (almost at the end after the OpenVPN part) which works for me as a workaround.


unset($gif);
$gif = link_interface_to_tunnelif($interface, 'gif');
if (!empty($gif)) {
array_walk($gif, 'interface_gif_configure');
}
