[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#398595: IPv6 is unusable with the network-bridge script

[Steinar H. Gunderson]

Package: xen-utils-3.0.3-1
Version: 3.0.3-0-2
Severity: important

After installing Xen and setting up 

  (network-script 'network-bridge netdev=eth0')

I no longer have a sane IPv6 address in the dom0:

  inet6 2001:700:300:d03f:fcff:ffff:feff:ffff/64 scope global dynamic valid_lft 2591977sec preferred_lft 604777sec

This is probably since xenbr0 has a MAC address of
fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff; in any case, it completely breaks IPv6 until I remove
it, turn off autoconfiguration and set up a manual address (which is a
pain when you move around a bit).
