I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 on a Dell Vostro 1510 laptop. I have an HE IPv6 tunnel connected to the external address of my home gateway which is an Ubuntu server 10.04.2 LTS. I have IPv6 enabled on my internal network via radvd on the Ubuntu server. The radvd config is below (sanitised):
interface eth1 { AdvSendAdvert on; prefix xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/64 { AdvOnLink on; AdvAutonomous on; AdvRouterAddr on; }; RDNSS 2001:470:20::2 {}; }; radvd responds to IPv6 NDP (Network Dicovery Protocol) router enquiries by supplying the router address and network prefix information. This allows the wireless NIC to auto-discover it's v6 address network prefix then generate a unique address using EUI-64. Very regularly my wireless connection disconnects then immediately reconnects - normally it's 10 minutes almost to the second but sometimes it doesnt disconnect at all. The default time for MaxRtrAdvInterval in radvd is 600 seconds - coincidence? If I set my IPv6 network-manager settings to 'ignore' the disconnect doesnt seem to happen. Let me know if there is other information you need. ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/158481 Title: IPv6 causes wireless to disconnect/reconnect often -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
