Just doing an 'ifup eth0' on a network with IPv6 on it is sufficient.

And it does break stuff:

% ifconfig eth0
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:24:E8:C6:AD:17  
          inet addr:128.173.14.107  Bcast:128.173.15.255  Mask:255.255.252.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::224:e8ff:fec6:ad17/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

With 2.6.34-rc1-mmotm0309, I see:

% ifconfig eth0
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:24:E8:C6:AD:17  
          inet addr:128.173.14.107  Bcast:128.173.15.255  Mask:255.255.252.0
          inet6 addr: 2001:468:c80:2103:224:e8ff:fec6:ad17/64 Scope:Global
          inet6 addr: fe80::224:e8ff:fec6:ad17/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

Something ate my IPv6 address.  We run a lot of IPv6 in production, so stuff
is acting wonky.
