What did I break?

I've had my router running as a ipv4 nat router/ipv6 firewalled router for months now. It's been working great. At some point in the last 36-48 hours 'something' has changed, and it no longer routes ipv6. I've reviewed the relevant config files, the routing tables, and the iptables, and nothing stands out to me. IPv6 still works from the router, and connectivity from the lan to the router works over IPv6, but not routing through. I just rebooted without any IPv6 firewalling, but no luck. What seems fishy to me is the default route set on the clients, which leads me to believe it's a radvd problem. Inspecting the radvd logs reinforces this theory, but I have no clue what would cause this problem. Any tips here would be MUCH appreciated.

fishy radvd log lines (this just repeats a lot):

I'm sure there is info I'm forgetting to provide, so please just let me know. aiccu autotest passes on the router(as expected, as ipv6 works on the router).
What did I break?

Try a traceroute somewhere (e.g. traceroute6 www.free.fr) from both your router and hosts and post the results here. Also, the prefix directive in the radvd.conf file is supposed to take a prefix (a /64 subnet, actually) as argument, but you've put the address of the bridge interface. Try replacing "prefix 2001:4978:142::1/64" with "prefix 2001:4978:142::/64".

Changing the prefix to remove the 1 from the end fixed it. Why this has worked for months is beyond me. Thanks! Pat
