I've been running IPv6 on my notebook computer for years, using NetworkManager to configure the networking. The consistent IPv6 address had long been based on the MAC address, but now it's a random number. How did this happen and what do I do to go back to the MAC based address? As always, the temporary privacy addresses are random.
I'm not on a NM based system ATM, but you might get started with: nmcli c to show the connections, and nmcli c show uuid | less to browse their settings. Search for mac, cloned and ipv6. You can modify values with nmcli c modify uuid key value I'm struggling with a pathological behavior, where NM swaps the WIFI MAC address with eth0 (during operation many 100th times a day). arpwatch generates two mails for each swap (back and forth)... MUCH fun. While not solved, it might provide some insights for you, too: https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1161231 Cheers, Pete -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
