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.
