My firewall is an old computer running openSUSE 11.3 and I have IPv6
running on it. However, the NIC facing my cable modem does not show an
IPv6 link local address, which every NIC is supposed to have, if IPv6 is
enabled. The NIC facing my LAN has both link local and public unicast
addresses. I had considered that something in my cable modem might be
inhibiting it, but when I plug my notebook computer directly into the
modem, it has a link local address.
I tried booting from a live 12.1 CD and had link local addresses on both
LAN & WAN interfaces, so there's something in openSUSE 11.3, as
installed, that's disabling it. I tried turning off the firewall, but
that also didn't make any difference.
Any idea why that one NIC doesn't have a link local address?
tnx jk
