https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=739215 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=739215#c19 --- Comment #19 from James Knott <james.knott@rogers.com> 2012-06-20 14:52:06 UTC --- I set eth0 to static address and as expected I now have a link local address. However, I already knew that would happen, as I had tried that before, as I mentioned in comment #3. Regardless, it should make no difference whether static or DHCP is used, particularly since most people get their IPv4 address via DHCP. Also, I have tried running DHCP without the gogo6 client running and still do not get an IPv6 link local address, so the client appears to have no effect on this. Further, that client is not started on that interface. it simply creates IPv4 packets from IPv6 and routes it as appropriate. It uses eth0, as that is the default route. If the DHCP client is removing IPv6 from that interface, then that's clearly where the problem is. It should never, ever do that. Bottom line: There is an IPv6 link local address with static address, but not DHCP. Running the gogo6 client has no effect on this. Therefore,the problem lies with the DHCP client and this *MUST* be fixed or there will be a lot of people who will be unable to run IPv6 when provided by their ISP. I have sent you the gogo6 client package via email. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
