The line in error is 583 in the script current as of 29 Apr 2011. It SHOULD BE: if [ x$old_ip6_address != x -a x$old_ip6_address != x$new_ip6_address ]; The $new_ip6_address is missing the 6, that is it is just $new_ip_address, which of course never matches the existing address. The same bug is in the file for openSUSE 11.3 too. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use system with IPv6 and DHCP 2. Look in /var/log/messages for regular ifdown followed by ifup messages 3.
