This could be prism54 specific but I don't have hardware to test if it is. The problem only occured with prism54 WLAN interface, not on-board LAN interface. Either the script relies on non-standard behaviour or prism54 doesn't handle the situation right. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure wireless network using the new baselayout-1.11.0. 2. start the interface Actual Results: The script removes all IP addresses (including IPv6) from the interface. The network driver (prism54) stops receiving IPv6 messages and IPv6 won't work. Expected Results: The script should not have removed the link-local address or it should have restored it OR prism54 driver should be able to reacquire the IPv6 addresses after the script is finished. In any case, IPv6 should work with auto-configuration after net.eth2 script (symlink to net.lo or net.eth0, tried both) has started. If I manually run ip -6 addr add fe80::20d:54ff:fea2:4684/64 scope link dev eth2 it will get the IPv6 address and everything works. (note that the address being added is specific to my network interface). I tried the net.eth0 script with my LAN interface too and IPv6 worked there. I'm not sure which behaviour is expected, to receive IPv6 messages or not (after all IPv6 addresses are removed).
still a problem with baselayout-1.11.3?
sys-apps/baselayout-1.10.4 running, seems to work.
krhm. sorry ;) I should read what I'm saying first. 20:02|bovine~% sudo /etc/init.d/net.eth2 restart * Stopping eth2 * Bringing down eth2 * Releasing DHCP lease for eth2 ...

Whats happening is that the wireless module is removing IP addresses so that DHCP always works. This is needed if you're running ifplugd or waproamd on a wireless interface using DHCP. And AFAIK dhcpcd doesn't handle IPv6. So if you need to set one by hand AND still use dhcpcd, set it in the postup function in /etc/conf.d/net postup() { local iface=${1} if [[ ${iface} == eth2 ]]; then ip -6 addr add fe80::20d:54ff:fea2:4684/64 scope link dev eth2 fi }
I don't need software support to get IPv6 addresses automatically (like DHCP for IPv4). I don't want to add my link-local address manually because it's MAC address based. A clean solution for this problem would be nice. If the script's function is required for _DHCP_ (IPv4 only), why does it remove IPv6 addresses? If it only removed IPv4 addresses there wouldn't be a problem. Don't remove IPv6 addresses, problem solved?
postup() { local iface=${1} local mac=$( wireless_get_ap_mac_address ${iface} ) if [[ ${mac} == 00:11:22:33:44:55 ]]; then ip -6 addr add fe80::20d:54ff:fea2:4684/64 scope link dev eth2 fi } Or do you mean the IP6 address itself is based on the mac address? How are you setting it anyway - before this new baselayout that is?
I don't. Just add IPv6 support and _all_ interfaces get IPv6 addresses automatically. Try it. No configuration required. So my problem is that after the wireless script removes all IPs my interface won't get a new one automatically. Without the script it works fine :/
Sorry - I didn't know exactly what you were talking about. I have a fix for it in the works.
Cool, sorry for the nonprecise description. :)
I have a nearly similar problem with baselayout 1.11.4 and ipv6 I use static adresses (both ipv6 end ipv4). Here is my config : > modules_eth0=( "iproute2" ) > > ipaddr_eth0=( > "2001:7a8:2b1b::28/48" > "192.168.6.28/24" > ) but setting ipv6 adress fails when it has been removed on net.eth0 down : * Stopping eth0 * Bringing down eth0 * Removing inet6 addresses * eth0 inet6 del fe80::207:e9ff:fed7:4361/64 * eth0 inet6 del 2001:7a8:2b1b::28/48 * Shutting down eth0 ... [ ok ] r2d2 19:18 ~ En when reuping eth0 : # /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start * Starting eth0 * Bringing up eth0 * eth0 2001:7a8:2b1b::28/48 RTNETLINK answers: Network is down The same fix as indicated works well : postup() { local iface=${1} if [[ ${iface} == eth0 ]]; then ip addr add 2001:7a8:2b1b::28/48 dev eth0 fi }
Just tested with baselayout 1.11.5, same probleme here : * Stopping eth0 * Bringing down eth0 * Shutting down eth0 ... [ ok ] * Starting eth0 * Bringing up eth0 * eth0 192.168.6.28/24 [ ok ] * eth0:1 2001:7a8:2b1b::28/48 RTNETLINK answers: Network is down [ !! ] * Adding routes Same fix works. But I do'nt understand : > - scope:link inet6 addresses are ignored when testing is_up and > del_addresses - fixes bug #65417 this fix should indeed fix the bug... I will investigate more
After a little bit more investigation : configuring ipv4 adress works when iface is down whereas ipv6 fails : # /etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop * Stopping eth0 * Bringing down eth0 * Shutting down eth0 ... [ ok ] r2d2 15:04 ~ # ip addr add 192.168.6.28/24 dev eth0 r2d2 15:04 ~ # ip -6 addr add 2001:7a8:2b1b::28/48 dev eth0 RTNETLINK answers: Network is down It's the same error I get when using the init script : # /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start * Starting eth0 * Bringing up eth0 * eth0 192.168.6.28/24 [ ok ] * eth0:1 2001:7a8:2b1b::28/48 RTNETLINK answers: Network is down So, the solution seems to up the interface BEFORE setting it up (unless it's a iproute2 bug) My iproute2 version : # qpkg -v -I iproute2 sys-apps/iproute2-2.6.9.20040831 *
Guillaume - that's not quite the same bug At present, you cannot setup ipv6 addresses using iproute2 correctly. However, you can do this with ifconfig inet6_eth0=( "2001:7a8:2b1b::28/48" ) I've got a fix for iproute2 todo this in CVS and I've also updated the documentation accordingly.
Fixed in baselayout-1.11.6
