After installation of openSUSE 12.1 M5 in VirtualBox, which installed the network using the traditional ifup method, only one eth0 interface, I changed the value of BOOTPROTO from dhcp to dhcp4 in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg- eth0, because I don't have a DHCP6 server in the network. This change will not start the DHCP6 client in my system, so the network is started faster. It only waits for DHCP4 to finish. However I do have a IPv6 router in the network, so after some time I should see one or more global IPv6 addresses via stateless autoconfiguration. But they do not appear. The value of /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/autoconf is 1. -- fr.gr.
