IPv6 configuration problem

[Miguel Maldonado <miguel@WPI.EDU>]

Hi, 

I'm trying to configure IPv6 on my machine.  I gone thru all the Peter
Bieringer's How To pages.  I have the kernel version 2.2.14 and running
the woody debian.  I have been able to compile and install all the packges
and patches (the libpcap, net-tools, inet6-apps, tcpdump and
traceroute).  I'm trying to get the scripts file to work but have not been
able to.  I get the ipv6 link local addresses for my interfaces but i can
get them to the one i set on the network-ip6.conf.  I have two ethernet
card but only really care about the address in one of them.

################# Interface section 

#Device Key     prefix  
eth1    iface   3ffe:0400:0100:0                0:0:0:20        64

################# Gateway section
eth1    route   3ffe:0400:0100:0:0:0:0:1                3ffe::/16

The machine will not be neither a tunnel nor a router so i set the other
options to no on the networkip6.  I create the links for the
network-ip6.init in the rcS.d and also the links from rc0.d, rc1.d, rc2.d,
rc6.d. I don't think the scripts get to pass run at all.  I thinks it
exists trying to find /etc/init.d/functions

start_and_stop() {

    # Discover Linux file system standard and source function library.
    if [ -f /etc/init.d/functions ]; then
        # Delix 6.0
        . /etc/init.d/functions
        FILEFUNCTION6=/etc/init.d/functions-ip6
    elif [ -f /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions ]; then
        # RedHat 6.0 
       . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

        FILEFUNCTION6=/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions-ip6
    else
        exit 1
    fi

....

Any one got any ideas on why i set the ipv6 address on my interface?

Thanks,

Miguel Maldonado

PS Also when i run tcpdump it responds that eth0 is running in promiscuous
mode any idead how to change this?
