Package: base
Severity: important
IPv6 configuration doesn't work on bootup or invoke-rc.d networking restart with either of the following:
### EXAMPLES START ###
# CONFIGURATION 1
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.5.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.5.254
dns-nameservers 192.168.5.254
iface eth0 inet6 static
address fc00::1:1
netmask 7
# CONFIGURATION 2
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.5.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.5.254
dns-nameservers 192.168.5.254
post-up ifconfig eth0 add fc00::1:1/7
pre-down ifconfig eth0 del fc00::1:1/7
### EXAMPLES END ###
Running the following after bootup works:
# ifconfig eth0 add fc00::1:1/7
