Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

IPv6 support is getting added upstream over the next month or so; David Cantrell
is leading this effort.

Comment 2 Dan Williams 2010-02-06 00:21:45 UTC
Much of this is awaiting tags into RHEL6 in 0.8-0.1.git20100122

Comment 4 Tore Anderson 2010-02-19 22:04:51 UTC
Fixed?  Cool!  Does this also mean that the following bugs are now resolved?

#538499
#530669
#530670

That would truly be awesome...

Hi,

I think the subscribers to this bug might find this comment interesting:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=538499#c1

It describes my testing the IPv6 capabilites of F13 Alpha (with NetworkManager 0.8.0-0.4.git20100211, so newer than what was mentioned in comment #2).  The very disappointing conclusion is that NM doesn't currently support IPv6 in any usable way whatsoever.

Comment 7 Dan Williams 2010-06-08 20:52:29 UTC
Recent NM builds (since early May) have full IPv6 support.

Comment 8 Vladimir Benes 2010-06-09 13:07:23 UTC
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=569485 finally resolved so we can VERIFY this bug.

Comment 9 releng-rhel@redhat.com 2010-07-02 18:46:12 UTC
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Beta 2 is now available and should resolve
the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed
with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the
solution does not work for you.
