[OpenWrt-Devel] Chaos Calmer 15.05-rc2

Hi folks,

I'm seeing an issue on my Barrier Breaker running on a TP-Link WR842ND 
where it gets an IPv6 /128 to the WAN interface + /64 on the LAN 
interface via DHCPv6 + PD, however it does NOT set the default gateway 
by default, so I have to discover it and set manually using the 
other-side link-local.
Even though eventually while running and after a few "Save & Apply" it 
"mysteriously" looses the same default gateway I have set manually (I'm 
guessing due DHCPv6 changing it every in a while to the original when it 
booted - none). And it can't ping it anymore (the other-side link local 
address). By the way, it's a cable connection.

For comparison I have another router running DD-WRT from 22/Nov/2014 
connected to the same ISP in another point of the city and it works fine 
DHCPv6, sets the default gateway by default and never looses it.

By any chance this changelog "/Fixed broken IPv6 downstream DHCPv6-PD 
and onlink-route handling/" would perhaps have anything to do with that 
problem observed ?

Thanks
Fernando
