I was about to report a similar problem. On my machine, the ipv6 address for the interface is not added at all, though the ipv4 addresses are. The problem seems to be that IPv6 addresses can only be added on a UP-ed interface. This is how I edited my /etc/conf.d/net to work around the problem, until it eventually gets fixed. modules=( "iproute2" ) postup() { if [ ${IFACE} = "eth0" ]; then /sbin/ip addr add dev ${IFACE} "2001:240:516:1::2/64" fi return 0 } This problem should be fixed by baselayout-1.11.8 However, IPv6 addresses starting with a letter won't get added ok - this will be fixed by baselayout-1.11.9 Created attachment 48431 [details, diff]
