Description Pekka Savola 2010-05-04 06:08:07 UTC
Description of problem:
When I do a hibernate/resume, net.ipv6.conf.wlan0.accept_ra is changed from 1 to 0.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
NetworkManager-0.8.0-10.git20100502.fc12
kernel-2.6.32.12-114.fc12.i686

How reproducible:
Connect to a WLAN with IPv6 settings set to "Ignore".
Observe that accept_ra=1 and get IPv6 address.
Hibernate.
Immediately resume from hibernate.
Observe:
 - Networking is disabled (there are open bugs on this).
 - accept_ra setting is (almost always) 0.
 - Enabling networking does not reset accept_ra setting.

Not sure if it's relevant but I have NETWORKING_IPV6=yes in /etc/sysconfig/network.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See above.

Comment 1 Dan Williams 2010-05-05 05:50:19 UTC
Is the connection that gets reactivated on resume (when you re-enable networking) IPv6 capable?  You won't get accept_ra set to 1 unless the connection is IPv6 capable and you've used the "Automatic" mode for it.  Check the connection editor for the connection that's getting activated on resume and let me know.

Comment 2 Pekka Savola 2010-05-05 06:06:22 UTC
The used connection is the same before and after suspend. It is set to Ignore. 

I took your earlier comments to mean that in that case it should not try to adjust IPv6 settings and SLAAC should work fine.

Note that after resume, accept_ra is zero even before I re-enable networking.

I might agree that with "Ignore" NM should not change accept_ra 0->1, but the real issue here is why suspend/resume resets accept_ra 1->0.

Not sure if this is a NM issue or some other component.

Comment 3 Dan Williams 2010-05-05 20:21:46 UTC
NM was not resetting accept_ra to the saved/initial value (retrieved from /proc when NM starts up) when it started 'ignored' connections.  I've now fixed this upstream in commit 391fb0f0f2d569e3f8dd23e6b99fdf7743760d09.

Note that when the device is deactivated, accept_ra will still be 0 to ensure that RAs are only accepted when they are supposed to be.
