Description

When selecting 'Assisted' mode for Router Advertisements, OSX clients use stateless autoconfig and do not obtain DHCPv6 addresses.

I was able to get the proper behavior[*] by manually editing /var/etc/radvd.conf so that both 'AdvManagedFlag' is 'on' and 'AdvAutonomous' in 'on' at the same time. When selecting 'Assisted' mode the 'AdvManagedFlag on;' line is removed from radvd.conf but should be present.

[*] OSX client gets DHCPv6 address for incoming connections and performs stateless autoconfig for RFC 3041 private addresses for outgoing connections.

According to my understanding the states should be:
Mode AdvManagedFlag AdvAutonomous
'Router Only' off off
'Unmanaged' off on
'Managed' on off
'Assited' on on
