Looks like ipv6 is > completely ignored. Adding manually works. If you did read what does it say, you could see the following: Error: an inet prefix is expected rather than "2001:610:611:2::42/64/64". Failed to bring up eth0. Which means that you have specified the netmask twice: > iface eth0 inet6 static > address 2001:610:611:2::42/64 > netmask 64 Previously, ifupdown was using ifconfig which would silently swallow this and just set it up, but iproute (which we use now) does complain. Probably, in the next upload I will teach ifupdown to cope with this, but this isn't strictly a valid configuration. > up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 inet6 add 2001:610:611:2::4/64 > up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 inet6 add 2001:610:611:2::140/64 > up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 inet6 add 2001:610:611:2::141/64 > up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 inet6 add 2001:610:611:2::142/64 > up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 inet6 add 2001:610:611:2::143/64 > up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 inet6 add 2001:610:611:2::144/64 > up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 inet6 add 2001:610:611:2::145/64 > up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 inet6 add 2001:610:611:2::146/64 > up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 inet6 add 2001:610:611:2::642/64 This is not needed any more, by the way, you can specify as many 'iface eth0 inet6 static' sections as you want. Also, I promise to come up with a better syntax to the next release ;) -- WBR, Andrew
