Amusingly @geerlingguy inspired to me to try IPv6 one-more time with Verizon FiOS on my Debian router (something that has never worked for me)..and I got it going. Verizon's IPv6 documentation is basically only available through hear-say and rumors.. Their situation is so weird. Anyway I shared some tips and sloppy reflection in a quick blog post.

PS Jeff -- I totally get it!

Stumbling Through IPv6 with Verizon FiOS on my Debian Trixie Router

Preamble Pre-rambling I’ve played with IPv6 at home a few times in the past. For my first attempt, I used one of the Hurricane Electric tunnels. I quickly experienced Netflix blocking traffic from it, and also learned about the IPv6 peering saga between Hurricane Electric and Cogent. For my second attempt, I leased a /48 from Free Range Cloud and back-hauled it from a VPS through a wireguard tunnel. Overall it was neat, but HE wasn’t practical for serious use, and adding latency by back-hauling internet traffic to a VPS didn’t seem very practical either.

Well I did not "move over" as one can't remove #NetPlan on #Ubuntu or #Kubuntu becasue of package dependencies etc...
but one can disable it more or less & let #NetworkManager take over.
What kills me about NetPlan is that it's more or less incomplete as it is missing so much, good thing it is only found on Ubuntu.
I've been getting into Bonding & 802.3ad/LACP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_aggregation

So what were you trying to do that NetPlan got in the way for you?

I've used Linux for a long time
but I've never seen the maddest that is #NetPlan
I do an #Ethernet bond(2 Nic's bonding as 1) on my Main-PC
I wanted to change the Transmit Hash Policy in my bond via .nmconnection file for NM but NetPlan got in the way on my #Kubuntu
I really know #NetworkManager but NetPlan is missing options I needed etc... So I made changes & got Network Manager to take over but it took me Hrs of playing with it. Now I know why people hate NetPlan

Okay, if today is a day of morons, I must mention #systemd, #netplan, and maintainers of #nftables who specified network-pre.target for Wants and Before in nftables.service.

Just think: network-pre

They are happily unaware of tunnels created by netplan.

And netplan cannot create tun interfaces, LOL.

#ifupdown and #sysvinit worked like a charm but which VPS provider offer, say, #devuan ?

Modern developers drag us back to the stone age.

I've just finished to set up my #ansible playbooks with #NetworkManager... They've changed for #netplan ;-(

Are there any generators for #netplan config from #Netbox data? I can't be the first to want this, but I can't find anything - even before requiring support for MTUs and VLANs on LAGs...

Ubuntu 25.10 Network Disabled After Reboot: Here's How To Fix It - OSTechNix

Ubuntu 25.10 network keeps disabling after reboot? Here's how to fix it by editing the Netplan configuration file and disabling DHCP.

@ubuntuasahi #netplan was the answer. It doesn't do anything by default. Added config to request DHCPv4 on #ens0 (network interface). And then it immediately got an IP address after running `netplan apply`. Case solved

Yes, that was the obvious solution. Glad I don't have to type all that in myself, but rather that #Hashicorp #Packer does that for me.

(I have to configure the network to set "dhcp-identifier: mac" in Netplan, *before* the autoinstall file is downloaded; to mimic what happens when I install NetworkManager in the generated VM, otherwise it switched IP addresses after reboot, and Packer fails to log in over SSH).

Definitely did not waste most of today figuring this out...
