When running these lines (without the 'up' bit) on SSH they all start pinging and work fine. Besides this, all networking related commands completely break networking and require a reboot. When I do '/etc/init.d/networking stop', all networking stops, but the bond0 device stays in ifconfig (not pinging) When I then do '/etc/init.d/networking start', all devices are added to ifconfig again, but still nothing pings When I then do 'ifup bond0', it says 'bond0 is not a configured device' When I do 'ifconfig bond0 down' it goes down and is gone from ifconfig When I do 'ifconfig bond0 up' it comes back in ifconfig and is not working So the two problems are that I need to keep rebooting for network changes and manually adding the additional IPv6 addresses. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
