           Summary: After booting the global IPv6 address does not appear

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/5.0

After booting my system with IPv6 enabled and connected to an ADSL router with
native IPv6 I see the local IPv6 address when giving "ifconfig eth0", however
the global address does not appear. Only after starting a KDE session and
starting Firefox I finally see the global address appear.
The output of the above command is:
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr E0:CB:4E:CD:D7:B6  
          inet addr:192.168.1.32  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: 2001:980:7480:1:e2cb:4eff:fecd:d7b6/64 Scope:Global
          inet6 addr: fe80::e2cb:4eff:fecd:d7b6/64 Scope:Link
I use the ifup method with a fixed IPv4 address, although the global address
finally is always the same, I don't see anything explicitly in YaST to define a
fixed IPv6 address. My ISP has given me the network prefix 2001:980:7480/48 .

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.reboot
2.monitor the output of "ifconfig eth0"
3.Start Firefox in KDE
4.now the global IPv6 address appears.


Expected Results:  
I would expect the appearance of the global IPv6 address during booting.

I also used VirtualBox to generate an openSUSE 12.1M2 system on the 11.4 system
as the host, and I observed the same problem there. In the host I captured all
traffic to the MAC address of VM using wireshark. So if this is of value I can
upload that Wireshark capture file.
