However, it can't get anywhere off the local network. 'netstat -r' shows that there is no default route, even though the ipv6_defaultrouter was specified. Adding: ipv6_enable="YES" fixed the problem. There seems to be some ipv6ish things that require that line, while lots of other ipv6ish stuff doesn't. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: For the user: ipv6_enable="YES" For the OS: not sure. Maybe don't require that if you see other IPv6ish things such as ifconfigs and ipv6_defaultrouter. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
