Related in part to 28926. I've put the ipv6 scripts to real use now, and a few issues have crept up. Using 5.69 initscripts. I worked them out with Peter Bieringer, and after this I believe IPv6 will be in a very good shape. 1) A big typo in init.d/network -- net-pf-10 alias is getting added to conf.modules every time network is run.: --- network~ Tue Feb 27 21:34:32 2001 +++ network Sat Mar 3 12:53:12 2001 @@ -31,7 +31,7 @@ # If IPv6 is explicitly configured, make sure it's available. if [ "$NETWORKING_IPV6" = "yes" ]; then - alias=`modprobe -c | grep net-pf-10 | awk '{ print $2 }'` + alias=`modprobe -c | grep net-pf-10 | awk '{ print $3 }'` if [ "$alias" != "ipv6" -a ! -f /proc/net/if_inet6 ]; then echo "alias net-pf-10 ipv6" >> /etc/modules.conf fi 2) lots of fixes and cleanups, among other things: * future support for external ipv6 address format changes (e.g.: how to notice '1:0::0' and '1::0' are the same) with external tool * actually kill the interface and all routes/addresses attached to it at 'ifdown dev1'. * if using two tunnels, make 'ifup sit1; ifup sit2; ifdown sit2; ifdown sit1;' equal 'ifup sit1; ifup sit2; ifup sit1; ifup sit2' * don't add static IP addresses to sitX devices N times if you run 'ifup sitX' N times. * change $variable -> "$variable" just to be sure (not strictly necessary yet) * filter out messages about route setting failing if you mistype 'ifup dev0' two times in the row * a few missing "'"'s (the same as mentioned in personal mail and #28926) * add LC_ALL=C to all route/ifconfig output that is grepped (as mentioned in personal mail) * probably something else I forgot. ipv6calc is something that should be considered later 3) A short small guide how John Doe can set up an IPv6 tunnel for himself, an example of configuration file format. (Is this clear && graphic enough?) This should probably go to %doc.

Will be hacked into 5.70-1.
