+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #186322 +++ It would be nice for dhcdbd to support IPv6, as that would go a long way to having support for the same in NetworkManager. We'd like to make NetworkManager the default in anaconda and IPv6 is a big feature for the next release, so this would help us out a lot. -- Additional comment from jvdias on 2006-03-22 16:47 EST -- Agreed, this has been on my to-do list for some time now; but NM also has to handle IPv6 addresses and options, and request an 'ipv6_up' from dhcdbd . Also NM must handle configuration of nameservers with IPv6 addresses - this is already supported by the bind named d-bus support. One point to note is that Ted Lemon of the ISC / Nominum (our upstream dhclient source) is developing a new dhclient that fully supports both DHCPv6 and D-BUS natively - this will be the way to go for the future, but it remains to be seen whether this will be ready for FC-6. In any case, I'll get dhcdbd or its ISC replacement IPv6 ready for FC-6 .
