The particular connection has been setup to use automatic connection and System connection. The WiFi router provides IPv4 and IPv6. Both are set to use Basic settings and Automatic (DHCP). When listing the network interface with "ip addr", I see both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses available. However the IPv6 address has been derived from the MAC address. The default should be to use a temporary IPv6 address. When I enter the line 'IFSYSCTL_NETWORKMAGER="yes"' in /etc/sysconfig/network/config and obviously the line 'NETWORKMANAGER="yes"' is there, both without the single quotes, the file /etc/sysconfig/network/ifsysctl containing the line 'net.ipv6.conf.$SYSCTL_IF.use_tempaddr=2', one would expect to have an IPv6 address that is not derived from the MAC address. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. see above Actual Results: An IPv6 address derived from the MAC address. Expected Results: The lower 64 bits of the IPv6 should be randomly generated. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
