Hi Bogdan, and sorry for the delay.

It looks like you don't understand the syntax of IPv6 addresses.  May
I recommend that you read

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6#Notation


> ahcp-generate -p fde6:20f5:c9ac:358: -P babel -n fde6:20f5:c9ac:358:1 -g 192.168.1.1 > ahcp.dat

That should be

  ahcp-generate -p fde6:20f5:c9ac:358:: -P babel -n fde6:20f5:c9ac:358::1 > ahcp.dat

You don't need to specify a static gateway for Babel.  (As a side
note, ``-g'' only applies to IPv6 routes, as stateless autoconf is not
supported for IPv4.)

> ahcpd -d 99 -a /tmp/ahcp.dat -S 192.168.1.200 192.168.1.254 /tmp/ahcp-leases -n -c /tmp/dummy-config.sh wl0 br-lan

You should not run ahcp or babel on a bridged interface.  You should
modify the OpenWRT scripts to make sure not to create a bridge.

Which version of OpenWRT are you running ?  Whiterussian or Kamikaze ?
