You have been subscribed to a public bug:
Our 10.04 machines have this in /etc/network/interfaces:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.87.30.54
netmask 255.255.255.192
gateway 192.87.30.1
iface eth0 inet6 static
pre-up echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/autoconf
address 2001:610:148:dead::54
netmask 64
gateway 2001:610:148:dead::1 dev eth0
And all would be fine.
The pre-up line takes care of disabling autoconf, the address line add a static
address.
Neither of them work in 12.04 beta2.
When the system boots up, the staticly configured address is not there, and
instead there are dynamicly configured addresses.
Interestingly, /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/autoconf still is 1, despite the
"pre-up echo 0 .." line, which indicates something with /proc?
This basically prevents me from any furthers testing...
It might be a case of RTFM but I couldn't find any.
Thanks
