I installed debian wheezy via debootstrap.
Set up /etc/network/interfaces with ipv4 and ipv6, both statically.
####
# /etc/network/interfaces -start
####
iface eth0 inet static
address 1.2.3.209
netmask 255.255.255.224
#netmask may be important; the first 3 octets of the ip are not.
gateway 1.2.3.193
broadcast 1.2.3.223
iface eth0 inet6 static
address 2a01:aaaa:bbbb:cccc::2
netmask 64
gateway fe80::1
#same as above, masked parts of the IP
####
# /etc/network/interfaces -end
####
The system runs an encrypted rootfs, decryption will happen via dropbear and
busybox from any place on earth.
Now if I boot the system, type in the encryption key, the system boots on.
But it only configures the IPv4 Address and completely ignores the IPv6 address.
The machine gets a link-local address, the gateway (fe80::1) is pingable.
If I do "ifdown eth0; sleep 1; ifup eth0" the IPv6 address gets configured. -->
Config file must be right. (Workaround 1)
After a few hours of testing around with Kernel 3.12, 3.13 and a few other
Realtek drivers, no success (thought about timing problems)
Now if I move the IPv6 part of the config above the IPv4 config,
IPv6 and IPv4 get configured properly. (Workaround 2; since it should work the
way I described above too!)
Some other details about the machine:
Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express
Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 06)
Tested drivers:
r8169 (firmware-realtek; wheezy; wheezy-backports)
r8168-8.038.00
r8168-8.037.00
Tested kernels:
3.2.0-4-amd64
3.12-0.bpo.1-amd64
3.13-0.bpo.1-amd64
All combinations have the same effect.
