Ah, interesting - it seems that Android insists on acquiring an IPv4 address, only then will it also do IPv6. I had adjusted our DHCP server to deny IPv4 to this device; when I reverted to the previous config, the device got both addresses. Weird. That's not good. IPv6 should not be dependent on IPv4.
I just verified that. I turned off my IPv4 DHCP server and my tablet would not connect. As soon as I started dhcp again, my tablet connected with both IPv4 & IPv6 addresses. This is a serious flaw. I hope Google fixes it soon.
I guess there's an Android bug-tracking system somewhere? I really just wanted to test some NAT64 stuff I've been setting up, but as that is just as easily tested with a laptop, the Android situation, although serious, is not so important to me.
I just checked with my notebook computer, running openSUSE 13.1. It gets just an IPv6 address when the IPv4 dhcp server is stopped.
Yup, I have no problems with that either. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (3.9°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
