Hi,
used kernel: 2.6.9-1.681_FC3
is this behavior still by design? I'm not happy about this because if the
link-local address is removed, it can't be added easily anymore.
"howto":
# ip -6 addr show dev eth1
3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qlen 1000
inet6 fe80::200:cbff:fe23:32bb/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
# ip -6 addr del fe80::200:cbff:fe23:32bb/64 dev eth1
# ip -6 addr show dev eth1
Device "eth1" does not exist.
# ip addr show dev eth1
3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
link/ether 00:00:cb:23:32:bb brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
Would it be not better to prevent user space tools from removal of the (one
and only) autogenerated link-local address?
Peter
