Description Catalin BOIE 2009-10-30 08:37:11 UTC 
Description of problem:
Even if a successful IPv6 address is passed to this script, it is not added to the interface.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dhclient-4.1.0p1-12.fc12.i68

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add DHCPV6V=yes info ifcfg-eth? and restart network.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
No IPv6 address added to the interface.

Expected results:
IPv6 address added to the interface.


Additional info:
The culprit is some bugs in dh6client function:
1. "break" is used in "case" and this is wrong, just remove "break".
2. The logic is twisted in tested for new_ipv6_address and new_ipv6_prefixlen: "-n" is used where "-z" must be used.

Removes "break" and fix the logic.
Comment 2 Catalin BOIE 2009-10-30 08:53:51 UTC 
Still missing is the following: make_resolv_conf should be aware that two dhclient instances (one IPv4 and one IPv6) can set the nameservers.
It should allow them to coexists.
What do you think?
