Hmm, my long time plan: push a change to the upstream kernel that makes the
/proc/sys/net/ipv[46]/conf/all/* work. This is going to take time and I don't
think it is a good idea to diverge from upstream here. The change may never get
there, people have different ideas about how this should work :(
Until then, this should be fixed in the sysconfig package.
I checked the kernel code and:
- setting /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/use_tempaddr cannot have any effect at
all.
- /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/default/use_tempaddr will set the default for newly
registered interfaces. If this is set in the initscripts, it might already be
too late, as some network drivers are compiled-in into the kernel, may be
loaded from initrd, etc. I think this is unusable.
The only way to fix this is to read the settings of IPV6_PRIVACY somewhere near
ifup (don't know what to do for networkmanager?) and set
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf//use_tempaddr accordingly.
Marius, could this be done?
