Description of problem: When installing with IPv6 static address the default gateway is not configured Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 15 Alpha TC2 How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install F15 from a HTTP repository 2. On the Network UI I configure both IPv4 and IPv6 static addresses. I enter a IPv6 default gateway 3. Reboot to newly installed system. Actual results: IPv6 default gateway is not configured. I can not ping6 an address outside the local network. The command 'ip -6 show route' only gives the network interface as the default gateway not the IPv6 address that I gave during the installation process Expected results: The IPv6 address for the default gateway should be configured as given during the installation process, so I can reach a IPv6 address outside the local network. Additional info: The IPv6 default gateway does not appear in the '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-em1' file.
There are more issues: - NM doesn't handle IPV6_DEFAULTGW, this is fixed in master, not sure if the fix gets into F15 (see bug #604334) - kickstart --gateway option has been broken for ipv6 recently, I sent a patch with fix to a-d-l - boot option gateway didn't support ipv6 addresses, patch for this is on a-d-l too
It would be nice to have IPv6 support complete in F15.
This should be fixed in anaconda-15.23-1.
Discussed at 2011-03-11 blocker review meeting, agreed accepted nice-to-have, fixing IPv6 is always a good goal.
