On a fresh 42.2 install in an ipv6-only environment, my network interface does not get an address assigned on start-up. I have to do ifdown/ifup for that to work.
I am not having that problem (at present).
Instead of ifdown/ifup, have you tried just waiting? If you wait, does the IPv6 address show up after 10-15 minutes?
Trying that just now - yes, it worked. It just took a bit longer.
If that happens, take a look at bug 916956. I don't think the bug has been officially fixed, but it isn't happening anymore. I'm not sure why. I think it is a timing issue, and some other change as altered the relative timing. But perhaps that varies from computer to computer.
This is the only system (sofar) that is ipv6-only, I have a few others that are dual-stack, they all work fine. Mind you, this is also the only system where I have installed the SuSEfirewall.
The quick check whether it is the same problem, is to disable the firewall, reboot, and check whether the problem occurs.
Okay, trying that now - yes, now I had an address pretty much right away. Okay, that solves it for me, I only installed the suse firewall to test something, I never use it in production.
