Bug#901255: netcfg-static: Unable to configure fe80::1 as a gateway
Package: netcfg-static
Severity: normal
Tags: ipv6
When I try to configure fe80::1 (next router) as a gateway in an IPv6 only
network the installer stops with an "Unreachable gateway" error.
Looking at netcfg-common.c:netcfg_gateway_reachable its checked by comparing
bytes. Imho a better way would be to configure the interface and ping the
gateway?
