Obfuscated addresses is fine, (or send information to me off-link). I 
ask because the relationship between subnets on interfaces and in 
dhcp-range statements is central to deciding where to send Router 
Advertisements.

When your laptop got an IPv6 from the router, was it in the 
2001:67c:ttww:3::/64 subnet? Is there any chance that eth1 is bridged to 
br0? That would explain things, I think.
