Hi,
FC6 updates-testing kernel based on 2.6.19.2
(kernel-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6) seems to have a broken IPv6 stateless
address autoconf. The previous, successfully tested version was based
on 2.6.18.5 (kernel-2.6.18-1.2860.fc6).
The problem appears to be that the host is not joining the all-nodes
multicast address (ff02::1) [netstat -g -n], so the IP layer isn't
processing the received router advertisements even though you can see
them with tcpdump. The solicited node mcast address is joined though.
Loopback interface doesn't join ff02::1 either.
linux-2.6-xen.patch at least seems to be making some modifications to
IPv6 ND code, but I didn't look closely enough if that's the culprit.
If it matters, the network adapter is Realtek 8139.
