Wh
at do you mean by setting up the bridge twice?
Is it about the bridge_* directives? I thought configuration of IPv4 and
IPv6 interfaces were independent, thus allowing (and needing) separate
configuration.

If you shall not repeat those, that might be the reason why I crashed the
network interface altogether...

I also cannot help but notice you use the accept_ra directive. Is not that
intended for routers?
Thanks,
