Doc Text: |
Cause
Sometimes when DHCPv6 client (i.e. dhclient with '-6' command line option) is started to configure network interface which is not fully "up".
Consequence
dhclient fails to run, because network interface does not have link-local address yet, which is needed for DHCPv6 client.
Fix
A wait loop was added into dhclient-script.
Result
dhclient doesn't fail due to missing link-local address.
