Hi Folks,

I installed RC2 last week on a desktop just for the fun of it.
There were a few glitches during the install process but overall
it went well.

But I'm having an issue with IPv6 addressing.  The install is on
a large network that runs both IPv4 and IPv6.  Something like 96%
of the six-thousand or so hosts are fully IPv6 enabled.  openSuSE
has always worked well enough in this environment.

But 12.1 RC2 kicks off an infrastructure warning that the host is
running a "private" address.  The network has a policy that prohibits
private addresses and so this new install will be blocked soon.
Ifconfig shows that none of the inet6 address have the lower half
of the MAC address as is usual.

Did the policy regarding IPv6 private addressing change in 12.1?  If
so, how can we return to the old policy?

I'll include obfuscated ifconfig outputs below.

Thanks,
Lew Wolfgang

Not working 12.1 RC2:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:xx:E8:08:00:43
          inet addr:xxx.yy.77.50  Bcast:xxx.yy.79.255  Mask:255.255.252.0
          inet6 addr: xxxx:yyy:zz:76:224:e8ff:fe08:43/64 Scope:Global
          inet6 addr: fe80::xxx:e8ff:fe08:43/64 Scope:Link
          inet6 addr: xxxx:yyy:zz:76:54d2:36fb:2fd5:56b6/64 Scope:Global


A working 11.4 system shows:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 70:xx:BC:46:7B:A9
          inet addr:xxx.yy.10.73  Bcast:xxx.yy.15.255  Mask:255.255.248.0
          inet6 addr: xxxx:yyy:zz:8:7271:bcff:fe46:7ba9/64 Scope:Global
          inet6 addr: fe80::xxxx:bcff:fe46:7ba9/64 Scope:Link
