[Bug 354883] [NEW] Interfaces fail to autoconfigure IPV6 global address with 2.6.28-11 kernel

[Manuel McLure]

Public bug reported:

After upgrading from Hardy to Jaunty Beta, IPV6 interfaces no longer get
an auto configured IPV6 global address:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1d:7d:a8:ee:22
          inet addr:10.128.1.2  Bcast:10.128.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::21d:7dff:fea8:ee22/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:22434 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:22801 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:10662818 (10.6 MB)  TX bytes:2622283 (2.6 MB)
          Interrupt:251 Base address:0xe000

 If I reboot the same system using the 2.6.27-14 kernel from Intrepid
the address does appear:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1d:7d:a8:ee:22
          inet addr:10.128.1.2  Bcast:10.128.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: 2001:470:1f05:257:21d:7dff:fea8:ee22/64 Scope:Global
          inet6 addr: fe80::21d:7dff:fea8:ee22/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:22434 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:22801 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:10662818 (10.6 MB)  TX bytes:2622283 (2.6 MB)
          Interrupt:251 Base address:0xe000

Doing tcpdump on the server running radvd shows that there are no
autoconfiguration requests being recieved from the system booting with
2.6.28-11 kernel.
