Package: net-tools
Version: 1.58-2
Severity: important

Hi,

ifconfig no longer seems to be able to set IPv6 addresses on my NIC:

xanadu:/home/brendan# ifconfig eth0 inet6 3ffe:80c0:220:4::2 prefixlen 112
Don't know how to set addresses for family 10.
xanadu:/home/brendan# 

Reverting to net-tools 1.57-1 seems to fix the problem.

Thanks,
Brendan

Hello Phil,

the following debian Bug is still valid for 1.59 (just uploaded the Debian
Archive). Could have a look at it cause the changes in ifconfig are a bit
puzzling to me :)

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=86237&repeatmerged=yes

another one dealing with Tokenring is:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=79462&repeatmerged=yes

unfortunatelly I cant test this...

Greetings
Bernd

I'm surprised that this syntax ever worked.  The usual way to set IPv6 
addresses is `ifconfig eth0 [inet6] add ...'.

Would you mind double-checking that 1.57-1 really did work with the exact 
command you mentioned?  Nobody else has reported the problem.
