core: frontend: re-enable IPv6 to support Huawei HiLink LTE modems
Current behaviour
In Blueos 1.5.0 (and perhaps earlier versions) IPv6 has been disabled and this means that Huawei HiLink LTE modems (such as the Huawei E3372h-320) cannot be used. This is a very commonly used LTE modem.
Sorry to complain but this caused me much anxiety in the lead-up to the AP Dev Conf 2025 because I could not understand why the Huwei LTE modem would not work with BlueOS when I had used it successfully so many times before with an RPI
Expected or desired behaviour
Huawei HiLink LTE modems should be usable
Prerequisites
- [x] I have checked to make sure that a similar request has not already been filed or fixed.
I haven't been involved in this side of things, but for context there's some relevant commentary here.
I think everyone agrees that IPv6 support would be nice if it's feasible, it just needs to be implemented in a way that doesn't cause more problems than it solves :-)
