Package: iproute
Version: 20071016-1
Severity: important

One of my xen domUs was recently rebooted.  Since then I cannot bring up
my ipv6 tunnels.

ifup tries to run this:

ip tunnel add sixxs mode sit remote 66.117.47.228 local 207.210.113.47        
ip link set sixxs up
ip addr add 2001:4830:1600:c::2/64 dev sixxs 

the first works, but the up line produces:

RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument

The domU had been up for about two months; the kernel is unchanged, so
the only difference is the version of the packages installed.

Comparing the output of ip link on the rebooted box vs another lenny/sid
box with a similar /etc/network/interfaces, the working box has the
POINTOPOINT,NOARP,UP flags and qdisc noqueue whereas the broken box has
only POINTOPOINT,NOARP flags (as expected given up fails) and qdisc
noop.  Not sure whether that difference is relavant....

The important thing is that the kernel didn't change, and still has full
ipv6 support.
