Thanks Roy!
I kind of assumed from the changelog that the next release would quiet
the logging somewhat.
I wonder is this kind of "misconfiguration" common with (older?)
Linux-based firewalls? (This one is ostensibly OpenWRT under the covers
-- they used to allow telnet to a command line, but removed it some
revisions ago.) I really need to replace it I guess.
From my understanding now of the options given in the router UI it
shouldn't be saying "DHCPv6 exists" when it is in the default
"auto configure" mode, but I guess for some reason it does.
