Hi,
I've been setting up ipv6 on a machine here, added the following
stanza to it's /etc/network/interfaces :
iface eth0 inet6 static
address 2001:770:103::1/64
netmask 64
I then rebooted to make sure that everything was setup correctly. I
was rather puzzled when i noticed that eth0 was missing the above
address. After much poking and twiddling of things, i finally copped
that the ipv6 module wasn't loaded at the time that the initscripts
were configuring the network. Adding 'ipv6' to /etc/modules fixed
that. Thought i might as well share that -)
