When using Ubuntu (in this case the live 16.04.1 LTS ISO) as a Generation 2 (Gen1 untested) Hyper-V VM, an IPv6 address can't be gotten through DHCPv6. dhclient continues to send out solicitations but they never result in a response. I've looked on the router end (running AdvancedTomato and dnsmasq) and the router is getting the requests and is sending out a advertisement, but the VM never gets it. Using the exact same live ISO works in VirtualBox so I've convinced it is an issue with the Hyper-V network driver or something along those lines.

The only IPv6 address that is configured automatically is the fe80 link-local address.

Windows VMs and older Linux VMs (Debian jessie with 3.16 kernel) work just fine and receive an IPv6 via DHCPv6.
