Description Trever Adams 2011-06-08 20:47:43 UTC 
Description of problem:

I have marked this urgent as this should be working and today is world IPv6 day.

My network is defined as follows:

<network>
  <name>TheCommons</name>
  <uuid>....</uuid>
  <forward mode='route'/>
  <bridge name='virbr0' stp='off' delay='0' />
  <ip address='10.0.1.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'>
  </ip>
  <ip family='ipv6' address='fd00:xxxx:xxxx:1::1' prefix='64'>
  </ip>
  <ip family='ipv6' address='2001:xxxx:xxxx:0::1' prefix='64'>
  </ip>
</network>

That didn't automatically add any of the ipv6 addresses. As I said, no
radvd. If I read the bug reports correctly, it is supposed to be automagic.

Looking at the systclts mentioned here:  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=501934, the sysctls are set exactly as said they would be in that bug.

I see others on the mailing lists saying their configurations work, but they are all bridges to physical devices. So, the problem may be specifically to virtual bridge setups.

Sorry, on this reboot it started working.
