IPv6 uses depreciated compilation options

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use IPv6 on Ethernet interface

Actual Results:  Interface uses depreciated IPv6 address mapping.
Neighbor solicitations don't work with EUI64 kernels (and AIX, BSD)

Expected Results:  Interface should have used EUI64 mapping

Configuration options for kernel should be:

CONFIG_IPV6=m
CONFIG_IPV6_EUI64=y
CONFIG_IPV6_NO_PB=y

Comment 1 Arjan van de Ven 2001-02-19 12:37:15 UTC
Thanks for the report. This will be fixed in the next kernel that gets build.
Feel free to reopen this bug if kernel 2.4.1-0.1.11 or later does not fix it,
once such a kernel becomes available in rawhide.
