Bug#347810: linux-image-2.6.15-1-686: Doesn't autoconfig ipv6 address when a network interface goes down and up
Package: linux-image-2.6.15-1-686
Version: 2.6.15-2
Severity: normal
Hi,
After doing:
ip link set <interface> down
ip link set <interface> up
The interface doesn't get an autoconfigured ipv6 address. With kernels
<= 2.6.15 this worked fine.
To work around it i have to reload the module for the network card. This
happens both on my desktop with a 3com network card and on my powerbook which
has a sungem. So it doesn't appear to be a driver problem.
