ipv6 is not loaded
Are you really sure? Because:
lsmod | grep ipv6 shows nothing
Oh, very strange indeed.
So "ip link show sit0" does not output anything (useful), nor?
Would be nice if you could mail me the file info.tar.bz2 (via personal mail) which is generated when running grml-hwinfo [please run it with root-permissions].
Finally I could reproduce the problem on one of my machines. AFAICS zeroconf is envolved in the problem. Maybe someone can reproduce it? All you have to do when getting different output running "ifconfig -a" vs. "ip addr show" is:
# killall zeroconf # and maybe also remove and reload NIC modules # rm /etc/network/if-up.d/zeroconf-up # or even purge zeroconf at all.. # ... via 'apt-get --purge remove zeroconf' # ifup -v $device # or /etc/init.d/networking restart
