Description

A strange requirement has come up. When selecting to use Static IPV6 it's not possible to specify using the PPPoE interface. There are manual methods of adding routes and adding addresses to interfaces and although this works, dpinger will not pick up the correct interface.

I have now got this working by adding an option in interfaces.php when selecting a static IPv6 to select to use the IPv4 connectivity link ( PPPoE ); an little code in interfaces.inc then correctly sets the interface and dpinger then works fine; I just need to add a new function to update the gateway in case that changes and it's done and dusted.

Would this be a useful addition to 2.4 or is it a hold off until a later version or of no use to anyone else but users of my ISP?
