The /56 is also used as the prefix.  I too have native and static, but, if I
try to insert either the /64 or the /56 appended with ::1 in there, it accepts
it, but does nothing.  So dynamic it remains.  The only thing I can identify
under automatic setup is the two servers and they show even if everything is
set to automatic.  I have a seperate IPv6 login, from the IPv4 one.  Two
different servers.  I suppose when they feel they are ready, they will do away
with one or the other.  I also have a static IPv4 address.

The router advertisements are there, but completely unaccessible by me.  I am
unable to put anything in a greyed out box (empty)
