Only after starting a KDE session and starting Firefox I finally see the global address appear. The output of the above command is: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr E0:CB:4E:CD:D7:B6 inet addr:192.168.1.32 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: 2001:980:7480:1:e2cb:4eff:fecd:d7b6/64 Scope:Global inet6 addr: fe80::e2cb:4eff:fecd:d7b6/64 Scope:Link I use the ifup method with a fixed IPv4 address, although the global address finally is always the same, I don't see anything explicitly in YaST to define a fixed IPv6 address. My ISP has given me the network prefix 2001:980:7480/48 . Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.reboot 2.monitor the output of "ifconfig eth0" 3.Start Firefox in KDE 4.now the global IPv6 address appears. Expected Results: I would expect the appearance of the global IPv6 address during booting. I also used VirtualBox to generate an openSUSE 12.1M2 system on the 11.4 system as the host, and I observed the same problem there. In the host I captured all traffic to the MAC address of VM using wireshark. So if this is of value I can upload that Wireshark capture file. -- 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.
