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.

commit 66e376f35299f9927b3de692ee5998bd12371455
Comment 1 Milan Zázrivec 2012-01-04 14:17:27 UTC 
Yet another commit is needed: 60b361bba52f028941c657eb4bef7fd41cb35a0c
Comment 2 Miroslav Suchý 2012-01-11 15:17:16 UTC 
another commit 7c2b37ad9dd2a972e04bb31cbb021047c6572564
Comment 3 Miroslav Suchý 2012-01-11 15:41:02 UTC 
I will omit commit ea2d344fc0be493428ff2b9a1659e5c22b1ba5c8 by purpose to not create regression in behaviour.
Comment 4 Miroslav Suchý 2012-01-11 16:01:14 UTC 
Cherry-picked as:
* d847c3a continue to search for the hostname if IPv6 is disabled
* f91ec9a 569790 - for scope on rhel5 do s/global/universe/
* 6b40627 IPv6: assign to hostname only if we are unable to resolve it
* 2c55ddd 743259 - take hostname of client instead of server
* ff3ea62 IPv6: IPv4 is most probably set up better, lets overwrite IPv6 values (if mismatch)
* 8011abf 743259 - initialize variable before use
* 41b1135 743259 - RHEL5 now has python-ethtool 0.6 - simplify code
* 316b651 743259 - get_ipv6_addresses does not return one item, but list
* 2311ed0 743259 - if IPv6 is not present, send empty string instead of None
* fe11192 743259 - send IPv6 addresses only if server support it
* b8bccc0 743259 - really send ipv6 address
* 6a0fcb6 743259 - findHostByRoute now returns both IPv4 and IPv6 and the same for Hardware class 
* f0a0c97 743259 - make findHostByRoute() IPv6 aware
