First, why are there two address with the first 4 fields being identical? The working system had only one. Why you get a non link local address at all? DHCP, avahi ...? The usual case would be that you have nothing than one local fe80::/64 addess per NIC.
Hi Rudi I'm certainly not a IPv6 expert, but doesn't a host negotiate with the nearest router for non-link local addresses? There is dhcp, but IIRC it's only IPv4. Microsoft products and Apple don't work well with dhcpd-ipv6, IIRC.
Notice that the second entry has a fe08:43 as the last part of the address. The 08 and 43 are in the last part of the MAC address, but where's the 00? Link local address is not "equal" mac adress. http://www.ipv6news.info/2007/07/25/how-to-form-a-link-local-address-from-ma...
Right. Here's the ifconfig output from the not-working RC2 system: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:xx:E8:08:00:43 inet addr:xxx.yy.77.50 Bcast:xxx.yy.79.255 Mask:255.255.252.0 inet6 addr: xxxx:yyy:zz:76:224:e8ff:fe08:43/64 Scope:Global inet6 addr: fe80::xxx:e8ff:fe08:43/64 Scope:Link inet6 addr: xxxx:yyy:zz:76:54d2:36fb:2fd5:56b6/64 Scope:Global As you can see, the link-local address is malformed given the ipv6news information. Should be: fe80::xxx:e8ff:fe08:00:43/64 Is: fe80::xxx:e8ff:fe08:43/64 I added the "xxx") Notice that the first "global" address has the same problem. Could this failure to transcribe the lower 24-bits of MAC addy?
