https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=785232 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=785232#c0 Summary: NetworkManager drops network connection periodically if IPv6 is set up Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.2 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 12.2 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: wolfgang@rosenauer.org QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: Community User Blocker: --- My network is properly set up for IPv6 internal and global connection (aka having an IPv6 router). Since I've upgraded to 12.2 NetworkManager reconnected every 20 minutes (the 20 minutes are most likely determined from timeout values of the IPv6 router advertisement and might differ for other users). This is actually critical since that means I'm losing my VPN connection every 20 minutes. I only use "Major" because the interval might be longer for other people but basically everyone using IPv6 with autoconfiguration will be affected I guess. My log shows quite some messages like this: ICMPv6 RA: ndisc_router_discovery() failed to add default route. So I found on the net: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=785772 http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=77de91e... To verify I've updated to NetworkManager 0.9.6 from G:S:36 which shows no unexpected network reconnects for the time being. I strongly recommend to either backport the fix or update to 0.9.6 on 12.2. -- 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.
