[arch-general] IPv6 Support
Hi there :) I searched the web but I can't find any about IPv6 in rc.conf. I saw in Debian you can put some v6 stuff in /etc/network/interfaces. So I thought maybe I can do the v6 stuff in rc.conf but how? And can I use v4 and v6 at the same time in the same rc.conf? Next question is can I put multiple IPv6 addresses in rc.conf? So for all of you who don't know about IPv6. You can handle a lot of IPv6 addresses at one interface. Can someone help, please? Thanks a lot!

I'm using IPv6 on my arch boxes, and yes you can use v4 nd v6 at the same time, and also use multiple v6 addresses on the same ethernet card. Here is what I have in my rc.conf : eth0="dhcp" eth0_ipv6_0="eth0 add fd8d::3/64" eth0_ipv6_1="eth0 add 2a01:XXXX:XXXX::3/64" INTERFACES=(eth0 eth0_ipv6_1 eth0_ipv6_0) One not so good thing, at startup I have to errors: eth0_ipv6_0 no such device eth0_ipv6_1 no such device But the address are correctly sets on the NIC.

Hmmm could you file a bug report regarding this. Seems fixable.
