Just an additional note: This modem does _sometimes_ report the assigned
global prefix.  It seems this will happen if I connect, disconnect, and
connect again.  But it still has an odd idea about prefix length:

                     |   prefix: '120'
                     |  gateway: '2a02:2121:1:305:0:22:afe:de02'
                     |      DNS: '2001:4600:4:fff::54', '2001:4600:4:1fff::54'


SLAAC still works fine, and does of course use the full /64.
