Re: High latency for IPv6 on netbsd-8

[Gua Chung Lim <gua.chunglim%gmail.com@localhost>]

Scarcely, ping6 works at the first boot, while ping (IPv4) always works pretty fine. Mostly, I have to disconnect and re-connect the network 3-4 times to have ping6 work. I haven't encountered this issue on netbsd-7.

Related lines in /etc/rc.conf...
# auto_ifconfig=YES
#wpa_supplicant=YES
#wpa_supplicant_flags="-i iwm0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf"
ip6mode="autohost"
dhcpcd=YES
dhcpcd_flags="-t 0"	# -b
#ifconfig_wm0=dhcp

I don't know where I shall investigate.
Any suggestion would be much appreciated.
