Subject: RTL8822CE IPv6 autoconfiguration not working

Hello,

I just bought a new laptop with an Realtek RTL8822CE wireless card
buildin. I'm using NetworkManager with its internal DHCP client. I have working IPv6 autoconfiguration support in my home network with 7 devices
with different operating systems. When I plug a USB network card into
the laptop IPv6 is configured sucessfully. But with the wireless card
IPv6 autoconfiguration doesn't work. When I manually add an IPv6 with
"sudo ip -6 addr add <address>/64 dev wlp1s0" I can ping IPv6 targets.
So there seems to be an bug either in the driver or maybe in
NetworkManager which prevents autoconfiguration from working, can
sombody look into this? I'm glad to help and provide further
informations or test things out.

Kind Regards
Joshua

I am not sure if this is driver-related problem, but I think you can try to
tcpdump and see where the autoconfiguration failed.
And I am not an expert of IPv6, but if there is any issue with the driver I
can help you.

My first guess would be some kind of multicast problem with power save
mode. I would first try disabling the power save mode on the driver and
see if that helps.

Disable power save with iw:

iw dev wlp1s0 get power_save
Power save: off

or in tlp:

# WiFi power saving mode: on=enable, off=disable; not supported by all adapters.
# Default: <none>
WIFI_PWR_ON_AC=off
WIFI_PWR_ON_BAT=off

or  on NetworkManager:

# File to be place under /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d
[connection]
# Values are 0 (use default), 1 (ignore/don't touch), 2 (disable) or 3 (enable).
wifi.powersave = 2

Did not help, where else could this be configured?
