Did you see Router Solicitation packets sent by the interface after the 
link was activated ?
Did the host set at least prefixes/routes from the RAs ?

What manages the interface ? Is SLAAC enabled for the interface in 
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/ ?
Are NDP ICMPv6 packets allowed by the firewall rules ?

Did you see the message saying that no IPv6 routers were found ?
