I'm sorry I can't do this.

Of course, it's up to you.
But I think there should be some signal witch restart both RA and DHCPv6.

Regarding to the patch
do you agree that we must clear STATE_RA_ on link-up event
before we trigger Router Solicitation message (see ra.c:247 ->
https://git.openwrt.org/?p=project/odhcp6c.git;a=blob;f=src/ra.c;h=898f449168e29bae08e48e9395f420d13b2ec899;hb=HEAD#l247
)?
Br,
Pavel
