So the issue is more like: IPV6INIT=no is not working... The design should be linux interface IPV6 option. I have seen the problem before but in most systems that don't use IPV6. On a system that has IPV6 enabled for a specific interface *only* there is a problem with the FE80:: .. on a disabled interface. ETH0 - no ipv6 ETH1 - no ipv6 ETH2 - IPV6 + IPV4 should 0 and 1 interfaces have any IPV6 address?? -- Eliezer Croitoru
