| Doc Text: |
Previously, if no IPv4 address was configured, then DHCP for an IPv6 address was not carried out. Subsequently, the eth0 interface had the default IPv6 link-local address assigned to it, instead the address that would be allocated to it via IPv6 dhcpd utility. This bug has been fixed in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-eth script and now, the dhcp6c daemon is started and an IPv6 address is acquired for the address as well as additional information such as DNS servers etc.
