Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.27-2-generic
I have configured ipv6 statically in /etc/network/interfaces. Had this
running with 8.04 and both 2.6.24 and own-compiled 2.6.26.3, no
problems. Now after fresh install of 8.10a4 I am having IPv6 trouble.
After bringing it up after boot, everything works:
Cisco router:
#show ipv6 neighbors

Everything is fine, I can download updates via apt-get etc (via ipv6).
After a while the nd goes stale, and cisco router cannot reach the
neighbour anymore:

Linux machine also shows itself as being stale, but if I debug ICMP on
the cisco router, I can see that the linux machine is sending ICMP
packets to the cisco, and it's trying to respond but can't because the
nd is stale.
Weird thing is that "tcpdump -p -n proto ipv6" doesn't show any packets,
"tcpdump -p -n icmp" doesn't show any ipv6 packets either, so I am
having a hard time troubleshooting this. Any ideas?
PS. It might be related to Networkmanager, because I don't have
Networkmanager in System->Administration to set up the IPv4 and IPv6
addresses in, so for IPv4 I'm having to kill off dhclient each time I
restart the network because networkmanager seems to think I should be
running dhcp on the interface. This might have some IPv6 implication as
well, I don't know.
