Public bug reported: I'm using ipv6 on a tun device. My router (a debian system) sends out router advertisements using radvd which are received by my ubuntu machine and used for address generation. Although the ra's include route information, this is ignored. The interface uses the fec1::/64 prefix and routing is advertised for fec0::/64. I cannot add this route to /etc/network/interfaces, as it comes up after vpn is started.
