I'm finally getting back to this.

Now I get global /64's on my LAN interfaces, but I am still not answering
dhcp6 for attached hosts.  I retried both version of the 6relayd init
script....

dnsmasq.conf contains:
enable-ra

dhcp-range=::1,::400,constructor:se00,ra-names,ra-stateless
dhcp-range=::1,::400,constructor:sw00,ra-names,ra-stateless
dhcp-range=::1,::400,constructor:gw00,ra-names,ra-stateless
dhcp-range=::1,::400,constructor:sw10,ra-names,ra-stateless
dhcp-range=::1,::400,constructor:gw10,ra-names,ra-stateless


I am running: Linux cerowrt 3.10.24 #1 Tue Dec 24 10:50:15 PST 2013.....
which might be just a bit too fresh....  Would you suggest another?

I have a spare 3700, so I think I will try some alternate vintages.

Thanks,
