Good afternoon all.
I've got an annoying problem I have been battling for years, but because it's a
boot problem and I only boot this once or twice a year (or less), I've come to
live with it and just sort out the networking manually after every boot.
I've got various issues depending on how I setup 'interfaces' (I'm on latest
Debian) but booting up today, my virtual interface was missing its IPv6
address. I've tried to follow Debian's guide, but my setup isn't very standard,
so not easy to match exactly.
As said, today's boot was fairly close, the virtual interface stanza is:
iface eth3 inet static
pre-up ip link add eth3 type dummy
address 2001:8b0:3a9::101/48
The interface itself actually came up unusually, but no address was added. Any
idea why?
Here's a link to my interfaces file:
http://www.aixperts.co.uk/interfaces
And here's the setup it resulted in:
http://www.aixperts.co.uk/net.txt
For a second I thought it needed an 'up' keyword, but trying that still left it
down. And also, it actually works fine after adding an address, even if it says
down.
Any ideas out there?
Regards,
Henrik
