Thanks. The 2 logs show the same PPP packets are exchanged in each case. 
The only difference that I spotted is the order in which the ip-up and 
ip6-up scripts are called. In the working case, ip6-up starts and 
finishes before ip-up starts. In the failing case, ip-up starts before 
ip6-up finishes. What do these scripts do? What might happen if they 
both run at the same time?
