Package: dhcp3-client Version: 3.0.6.dfsg-1 Severity: normal *** Please type your report below this line ***
I'm trying to configure a dual stack machine (IPv4 + IPv6) but version 3 of the DHCP client seems to disrupt IPv6 networking. IPv6 is autoconfigured using the prefix advertised by the router, while IPv4 is configured using DHCP. Problem is that as soon as dhclient is run for the ethernet interface IPv6 networking is *completely* disabled on that interface. If I try to manually set the address I get: nb-core2:/etc# ip -6 addr add 2001:5c0:etc dev eth0 RTNETLINK answers: No buffer space available I don't even see eth0 anymore under: /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/ The only way to get back IPv6 is to rmmod the driver of the ethernet card. IPv6 only works fine; i.e. if I simply to: ifconfig eth0 up (instead of using ifup) the interface is brought up, the link local address is created and after that the global address is configured using the advertisement from the router. At this point IPv6 is working, but if I try to start dhclient I loose it again. Furthermore, version 2 of the client (dhcp-client 2.0pl5dfsg1-20) works fine in this setup. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.utf8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages dhcp3-client depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.14 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.25 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii dhcp3-common 3.0.6.dfsg-1 common files used by all the dhcp3 ii libc6 2.6.1-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries dhcp3-client recommends no packages. -- debconf information: dhcp3-client/dhclient-needs-restarting: dhcp3-client/dhclient-script_moved: Luca -- La somma dell'intelligenza sulla terra e` una costante.
