In some cases, a per inteface it can't be applied because the kernel removes the complete /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0 directory while e.g. "ip addr flush dev XXX". => bug 559170 / bug 580018. Resolving as WONTFIX: the deprecated IPV6_PRIVACY can't be fixed properly. Workaround is to use ifsysctl files see "man 5 ifsysctl" and set it for the wlan0 interface (or for $INTERFACE), so it is applied via udev rule and in ifup. When NetworkManager is used, IFSYSCTL_NETWORKMANAGER=yes should be set to enable the ifsysctl run via udev. -- 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.
