So, my RG randomly rebooted after having been up, solid for several months, and the only thing that changed was that I had recently (last night) enabled IPv6 on my hosts.
Looking at the logs from the RG, I'm wondering if things are actually properly set up on the NVG589 to properly handle IPv6? (The apparently out-of-order lines is how the log was displaying it, btw)

It /seems/ to be allocating DHCP still -- I only have my STBs pulling DHCP from the RG, everything else pulls DHCP from my linux machine, but at least one lease has been renewed (the other STBs show up as "static" still, since the RG rebooted since their last lease). Actually, just tested by jumping on the U-Verse wifi, and I got an IP, so I guess dhcpd restarted ok?
Anyway -- anyone seen this before? Has anyone at AT&T been made aware of this apparent bug in the software on the RG? Or are they already aware, and they have a kludge to work around it (rather than prevent it)?
