Output from ifconfig using NetworkManager: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 20:CF:30:76:FE:69 inet Adresse:192.168.49.66 Bcast:192.168.49.255 Maske:255.255.255.0 -> inet6 Adresse: fdc2:31db:4aec:1a01::180e/128 Gültigkeitsbereich:Global inet6 Adresse: fe80::22cf:30ff:fe76:fe69/64 Gültigkeitsbereich:Verbindung Output from ifconfig using "Traditional IFUp": eth0 Link encap:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 20:CF:30:76:FE:69 inet Adresse:192.168.49.66 Bcast:192.168.49.255 Maske:255.255.255.0 -> inet6 Adresse: fdc2:31db:4aec:1a01::1e9e/64 Gültigkeitsbereich:Global inet6 Adresse: fe80::22cf:30ff:fe76:fe69/64 Gültigkeitsbereich:Verbindung Have a look at the marked lines. Using NetworkManager it says /128 which is wrong. Using ifup it says /64 which is right. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect to an IPv6 LAN using NetworkManager and DHCP to get an IPv6-Address 2. ping6 to some host on the network 3. or look at the output from ifconfig Actual Results: ping6 -> Network unreachable ifconfig -> /128 Expected Results: Set the correct netmask. -- 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.
