I think the source of the problem is the file 95-net.rules When Aiccu pulls up the ipv6 interface, udev try to execute net.sixxs. I've tried to create it (once with config_sixxs=( "null" ), the second time specifying all the parameters) but without any success. As stated in the forum's post (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-3888758.html#3888758) I've tried also to allow the pulling up by hotplug in /etc/conf.d/rc but without any success. I think that one possible solution could be modifying the rules pointed above to ignore any if pulled up by aiccu but I dont know how to do. One more thing. The Aiccu's version available in portage is quite old and I have not had any luck with it. I've used an ebuild patched by me available on Gentoo bugzilla http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162590 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Upgrade udev 2./etc/init.d/aiccu restart 3.ping6 www.sixxs.net Actual Results: dev02 init.d # ping6 www.sixxs.net PING www.sixxs.net(noc.sixxs.net) 56 data bytes --- www.sixxs.net ping statistics --- 18 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 17012ms dev02 init.d # Expected Results: dev01 ~ # ping6 www.sixxs.net PING www.sixxs.net(noc.sixxs.net) 56 data bytes 64 bytes from noc.sixxs.net: icmp_seq=1 ttl=58 time=92.8 ms 64 bytes from noc.sixxs.net: icmp_seq=2 ttl=58 time=90.6 ms --- www.sixxs.net ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1002ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 90.621/91.750/92.880/1.169 ms dev01 ~ #

Made more test included a full reboot. The problem seems gone. :) Change to solved, hoping that it will last :)
