I am looking for some help getting IPv6 configured properly on a

system.
I have one system which was installed fresh with Fedora 27, that system is
working properly, it receives both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses assigned by my
router (running latest LEDE release).
I have a second system which receives the expected IPv4 address but does
not receive an IPv6 address.
I notice that on the working system NetworkManager shows two instances of
dhcp client:
Some of questions.
What desktop are you using? The NetworkManager GUI displays are a bit different
between KDE and GNOME.
Are you using the GUI to configure the interfaces or doing it manually?
I think the problem is that in your config file you have both
IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes
and
DHCPV6C=yes
I don't use DHCP for IPv6 in my network since Android devices can't use it. So,
I
manually configure IPv6 for systems where I want a "short" IPv6 address and they
are
"servers". For the other systems I just let them use the IPv6 native
auto-discovery
do its things.
I believe with both of those parameters defined the IPV6_AUTOCONF takes precedence
and will prevent the dhcp-client from starting.
FWIW, using the GUI on KDE I could not force my config files to have both of those
defined with "yes".
