Description Svante Victorsson 2011-05-24 13:38:36 UTC
Description of problem:
IPv6 address is configured via the GUI Network Connections -> system eth0 ->
IPv6 tab

Method: Manual
Address: 2001:2040:0:1:: c
Prefix: 120

Routes
Address: ::
Access Code: 0
Gateway: 2001:2040:0:1:: 1

After rebooting the system configuration is shown in the GUI, but no IPv6
functionality.
After restarting the network manually, /etc/init.d/network restart
Full IPv6 functionality is achieved

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Linux digger.telia.net 2.6.35.13-91.fc14.i686.PAE #1 SMP Tue May 3 13:29:55 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
system-config-network.noarch     1.6.2-1.fc14
avahi.i686                       0.6.27-2.fc14
nss-mdns.i686                    0.10-8.fc12 

How reproducible:

1. configure for ipv6 via the GUI, once
2. rebooting the system

# ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 18:A9:05:2D:7A:A4  
          inet addr:195.198.153.12  Bcast:195.198.153.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::1aa9:5ff:fe2d:7aa4/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:71386 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:80843 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 
          RX bytes:33226768 (31.6 MiB)  TX bytes:54940394 (52.3 MiB)
          Memory:f0500000-f0520000 

3. restarting the network, manually

# ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 18:A9:05:2D:7A:A4  
          inet addr:195.198.153.12  Bcast:195.198.153.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::1aa9:5ff:fe2d:7aa4/64 Scope:Link
          inet6 addr: 2001:2040:0:1::c/120 Scope:Global
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:71386 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:80843 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 
          RX bytes:33226768 (31.6 MiB)  TX bytes:54940394 (52.3 MiB)
          Memory:f0500000-f0520000 


Actual results:
On bootup, Static IPv6 configuration is ignored. 
IPv4 configuration is handled correct and is working.

Expected results:
Ethernet IPv6 address is assigned the given IP address.

This was filed as a bug in fc13 Bug 586712 and fixed. Now I upgrade to fc14 and have this problem again.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 13:10:28 UTC
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:
