Description of problem: On a SLAAC network the IPv6 address goes away after sleep resume. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManager-0.9.9.0-41.git20131003.fc20.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Close the lid of an an ethernet-connected laptop to cause to cause it to sleep. 2. Open lid to resume 3. ifconfig 4. notice that the IPv6 addresses are gone. Actual results: IPv6 addresses are gone for a few minutes after resume. (They do always return after a while.) Expected results: IPv6 addresses still are present after a resume. Additional info: I only have one laptop to test against, so it might well be a timing issue with this particular ethernet chip. (laptop: 2006 AMD athlon/64 based Compaq v5005z)
Actually I was about to post the reverse problem. I have dnsmasq set to a lease time of 10 minutes. dhcp-range=tag:br0,::1,::ffff, constructor:br0,ra-stateless,64, 10m enable-ra I do this so if a router loses it's connection in an a multi-homed network, that the hosts all know to stop trying to route to that router after 10 minutes. But I noticed even after my laptop has been asleep for hours, the IPv6 addresses are still there after a resume. I know it hasn't reached out to the routers yet, because the IPv4 addresses are gone... I don't know if the IPv6 address would disappear after a few minutes if the routers were turned off. But it sounds like from this "bug" report, that is exactly what would happen. Which is what I want. In this case, I did not notice my IPv6 addresses disappearing. But then my addresses are SLAAC addresses, and maybe those have special rules.
The bug appears to be related to the Router-Solicitation / Router-Advertisement not being acted on. A beaglebone black running Debian plugged into the same ethernet gets an IPv6 assignment right away. Fedora-21 running NetworkManager needs to wait till the first unsolicited Router Advertisement before it gets its IPv6 assignment. Is NetowrkManager somehow blocking the normal in-kernel RS/RA?
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
