Package: ifupdown Version: 0.6.8+nmu1 Severity: normal The only options for IPv6 configurations are loopback, static, manual and v4tunnel. However, one may want to use an interface only for IPv6 with autoconf. This is very simple, as you just have to put the interface up. Therefore, the workaround looks like this:
interface eth0 inet6 manual post-up ifconfig eth0 up post-down ifconfig eth0 down Please implement an option like 'interface eth0 inet6 autoconf'. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29.1-midna-2 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages ifupdown depends on: ii libc6 2.9-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.2-22 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii net-tools 1.60-23 The NET-3 networking toolkit ifupdown recommends no packages.
