Description

I noticed today that IPv6 wasn't working, and found this in the dhcpd log.

I am adding a sighting. My logs are as follows:
Jul 12 06:23:21 pfSense dhcp6c[17300]: /var/etc/dhcp6c_wan.conf:13 invalid interface (bridge0): Device not configured
Jul 12 06:23:21 pfSense dhcp6c[17300]: called

I am currently running:
2.4.0-BETA (amd64)
built on Thu Jul 13 21:03:26 CDT 2017
FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE-p11

After a couple of days I lose ipv6 until I release and renew the wan interface.

still present on 2.4.3-RELEASE-p1.

after a restart dhcp6c starts before the bridge is configured and fails. Ipv6 wont work until the interface is manually reconfigured or dhcp renewed.
