Package: ifupdown Version: 0.7~alpha4 Severity: normal Tags: experimental ifdown executes 'ip addr flush dev $DEV', but does not set the link layer to down using "ip link set eth0 down". This flushes the IPv6 link-local address from the interface, which essentially disables all IPv6 on it until you manually add the link local address again. It will even disappear from the net.ipv6.conf.$DEV tree, which means the next ifup with a static inet6-stanza will fail with
error: "net.ipv6.conf.eth0.accept_ra" is an unknown key Failed to bring up eth0. Please execute "ip link set $DEV down" on ifdown.
