I have IPv6 at my home, but with the more common config using RAs. If I don't disable the DHCPV6C option in the ifcfg-eth0 file, bringing up an interface with "traditional" network scripts (e.g. ifup) takes 66 seconds. With DHCPV6C=no, it takes 3 seconds (DHCP for IPv4). Given the very small percentage of environments that are using DHCPv6 today, adding over a minute per interface startup to the default config is wrong. Oddly, it appears that nothing is taking the DNS information from the RAs and adding it to /etc/resolv.conf. IIRC that used to work with ifup (but maybe I'm remembering wrong). -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
