Description of problem: I have a Fedora 14 box hooked to a Cisco 881 Router. The Cisco 881 router is sending the router advertisement, but network manager never configures the interface with the stateless IPv6 address. This is not via DHCPv6 This works properly when using Ubuntu Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManager-0.8.4-1.fc14.i686 How reproducible: This behaviour is 100% reproducible Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure 881 router for IPv6 2. Hook up Fedora 14 box to Cisco 881 3. Restart NetworkManager Actual results: The Link-Local address is the only one shown via ifconfig -a Expected results: Another stateless ipv6 address should be populated into ifconfig Additional info:
This is an issue even without NetworkManager. IPv6 router advertisements should cause the IPv6 stack on the interface to assign itself a non-link-local address... which doesn't happen. Gentoo and Ubuntu, without NM, both do... something not NM related is broken in Fedora 14 here.
Sorry, IPv6_AUTOCONF wasn't set to "1" in /etc/sysconfig/network ... my fault
Something to check; make sure that the IPv6 "method" in nm-connection-editor for that connection is something other than "ignored". Next up, you can run NM like so for a ton of debugging: service NetworkManager stop /usr/sbin/NetworkManager --no-daemon --log-level=debug then attach the output here.
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
