Did this work with previous kernel versions?
No, in my opinion it never worked. But I thought that pppd does it wrong
because id never got an IPv6 address. But I had always forwarding
enabled. Now in this case i started pppd without forwarding enabled and
got an address.

Does pppd log any errors?
No, no errors
Could you post a pppd debug log showing the ppp protocol exchange with
the peer in the failing case? It might give some clues.

Here the logs ... First with forwarding enabled and second with disabled ...

Thanks. The 2 logs show the same PPP packets are exchanged in each case. The only difference that I spotted is the order in which the ip-up and ip6-up scripts are called. In the working case, ip6-up starts and finishes before ip-up starts. In the failing case, ip-up starts before ip6-up finishes. What do these scripts do? What might happen if they both run at the same time?
