After that, as by magic, the ethernet card on my other properly configures itself with just a "ifconfig eth0 up", really cool. However, I don't see what I should write in /etc/network/interfaces to make ifup eth0 just do a "ifconfig eth0 up", letting the autoconfiguring of ipv6 doing it's work.You could use the 'manual' method (I think). auto eth0 iface eth0 inet manual
I just put that in my interfaces file, but "ifup eth0" now doesn't configure the IPv6 part:

The IPv6 part should autoconfigured regardless, but this should bring your interface up.
apparently, it isn't. (also, 'ifdown eth0' doesn't bring the IPv6 part down, if it is up).
