/etc/network/interfaces and IPv6

[Rainer Dorsch <ml@bokomoko.de>]

Hello,

I am just wondering why ipv6 gets configured for enp1s0, even though I do not 
request that in /etc/network/interfaces (?).

I suspect NetworkManager takes care of that, but I always thought, network 
manager does not touch interfaces mentioned in /etc/network/interface?

System is stretch.

[   17.057440] r8169 0000:01:00.0 enp1s0: link down 
[   17.057546] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): enp1s0: link is not ready 
[   28.782440] r8169 0000:01:00.0 enp1s0: link up 
[   28.782473] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): enp1s0: link becomes ready
