but I still get an IPv6 address assigned. I don't know if this causes a problem for pppoe, but there must be a way of getting rid of it?
Yast Control Centre -> Network Devices -> Network Settings -> Global Options, uncheck "Enable IPv6", reboot.
Of course this assumes that you don't want to use IPv6 at all.
Well, I _do_ want to use IPv6. :-(
Part of the magic of IPv6 is it seems to try to do away with all the magical broadcast-using-0.0.0.0 stuff (think DHCP). You get a ULA one wot starts fe80, and use that locally. Then, you can get a global address too. IPv6 was built with multiple addresses per interface in mind. So, I'd say part of using IPv6 is having that funky address hanging around.
It's easily removed though. It might not upset my using the device for PPP, but not having it just seems "cleaner". /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (10.6°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
