Hi, --

I have more on this now. It happens without xen... I re-enabled RA on my test LAN. I have configured :

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
	address 193.239.33.245
	netmask 255.255.255.128
	gateway 193.239.33.129
	dns-nameservers 193.239.32.10

iface eth0 inet6 static
	address 2a02:c30:20:1::245
	netmask 64
	gateway 2a02:c30:20:1::1


If I run ifconfig eth0 down && sleep 2 && ifup eth0, then the computer picks up the address I list in the interfaces file. If I reboot, then I get a RA address (or no address when RA/autoconfig is turned off.)

This is on a clean, brand new Debian install 5.0.2.

Why is boot time behaviour different to a manual down/up ? And this is clearly broken, what to do to fix ?

Thanks
Andy
