Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ifupdown
/etc/network/interfaces has no support for the DHCPv6 protocol. Natty already has ISC DHCP 4.1, which supports DHCPv6, so adding a dhcp method (or maybe dhcp6 method?) to inet6 should be pretty straight-forward. satwell@satwelltest4:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu Natty (development branch) Release: 11.04 satwell@satwelltest4:~$ apt-cache policy ifupdown ifupdown: Installed: 0.6.10ubuntu4 Candidate: 0.6.10ubuntu4 Version table: *** 0.6.10ubuntu4 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: ifupdown (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/733547 Title: ifupdown missing DHCPv6 support -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
