Description of problem: A sit tunnel with SixXS speficed in ifcfg-sixxs does not came up on "service network restart". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Add in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-sixxs: DEVICE=sixxs TYPE=sit BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes IPV6INIT=yes IPV6TUNNELIPV4=212.xx.xx.73 IPV6TUNNELIPV4LOCAL=xx.xxx.xx.xxx IPV6ADDR="2001:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::2/64" IPV6_MTU="1280" IPV6_DEFAULTGW="2001:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::1" And, then, run "service network restart". Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: Seems that /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions file has no full support for sit tunnels. If I add in source_config functions, under "GRE | IPIP)": SIT | sit) DEVICETYPE="sit" ;; it fixes my problems. Seems that else, the OTHERSCRIPT used is ifup-eth instead of ifup-sit. This problem is also in F9beta, so, please, forward port it.
