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. Check /etc/sysctl.conf for net.ipv6.conf.default.use_tempaddr = 2
(or any value?) and report back.
I added the line, and it did change the ifconfig output, but I don't think it's working yet. First, why are there two address with the first 4 fields being identical? The working system had only one. Notice that the second entry has a fe08:43 as the last part of the address. The 08 and 43 are in the last part of the MAC address, but where's the 00? I think the infrastructure scanner here looks for a match and if it doesn't find it assumes a private address?
