While the modem is able to offer IPv6 address, the RNDIS setup is unable to complete if there is an IPv6 adress. While it works in ACM+RNDIS mode, the user experience isn't as good as with "proto 3g": the modem happily serves a local IP (192.168.1.xxx) without internet access. Of course, if the modem has enough time (for example at the second dialup), it will serve a public IP. Modifing the DHCP Lease (to a short interval before connect and back to default while finalizing) is a workaround to get a public IP at the first try. A safe workaround for this is to excercise an offline script of the pingcheck program: simply restart (ifdown - ifup) the connection. Another pitfall is that the modem writes a few messages at startup, which confuses the manufacturer detection algorithm and got disabled. daemon.notice netifd: Interface 'mikrotik' is setting up now daemon.notice netifd: mikrotik (2366): Failed to parse message data daemon.notice netifd: mikrotik (2366): WARNING: Variable 'ok' does not exist or is not an array/object daemon.notice netifd: mikrotik (2366): Unsupported modem daemon.notice netifd: mikrotik (2426): Stopping network mikrotik daemon.notice netifd: mikrotik (2426): Failed to parse message data daemon.notice netifd: mikrotik (2426): WARNING: Variable '*simdetec:1,sim' does not exist or is not an array/object daemon.notice netifd: mikrotik (2426): Unsupported modem daemon.notice netifd: Interface 'mikrotik' is now down A workaround for this is to use the "delay" option in the interface configuration. I want to thank Forum members dchard (in topic Adding support for MikroTik hAP ac3 LTE6 kit (D53GR_5HacD2HnD)) [1] and mrhaav (in topic OpenWrt X86_64 + Mikrotik R11e-LTE6) [2] for sharing their experiments and works.
