Folks, I am struggling to understand how IPv6 addresses may be added on boot in LFS 7.7. I, of course, can add one by hand:
ifconfig eth0 inet6 add XXXX:X:XXXX:X::XXX/64 with no problem. I don't see how it is done with the new /etc/sysconfig/ifconfig.eth0 format. In /lib/services/ I have various ipv4-static and ipv4-static-route scripts for bringing up ipv4-static links. I have not been able to find a guide or anything about this anywhere. Looking through the scripts, I could probably try to hack my way through making a copy and so forth and making it add an IPv6 address to the interface... but it would take a lot of time. I figured that wasn't the intended method, and so figured I ask here. How to bring up ipv6-static address (with gateway) on eth0 as well (without just hand adding it, but in the LFS way... using /etc/ifconfig.eth0 I assume)? PS: I also had to compile the ifconfig from net-tools and replace the one that came with inetuils so that ifconfig supported inet6. Not a big deal, but just thought I would mention it.
