I just re-did this test on the latest FC8 kernel and the same problem appears. ip link set eth1 down; ip -6 addr flush dev eth1; Nothing to flush. ip -6 addr add 2000::9:2/112 scope global dev eth1 ip link set eth1 up ip -6 addr show dev eth1 3: eth1: mtu 1500 qlen 1000 inet6 2000::9:2/112 scope global tentative valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::203:2dff:fe04:65b1/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever uname -a Linux lanforge-65-AF 2.6.25.4-10.fc8 #1 SMP Thu May 22 23:34:09 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux I wonder if it's something to do with the 8139too driver. Can anyone else with that NIC confirm? Thanks, Ben -- Ben Greear Candela Technologies Inc http://www.candelatech.com
