Hello all,
I just found a serious bug in 2.2.15 (probably also previous versions,
didn't check) w/ IPv6 and IP Aliasing support compiled in.
Do the following when networking works fine:
ifconfig eth0:5 1.2.3.4
ifconfig eth0:5 down
whoops. ifconfig deleted *all* eth0 routes, including the default route.
Also, after that, funnies start to happen (e.g. when trying to add the
routes back, it says eth0 isn't active or some such).
If I disable IPv6 from the kernel, recompile and reboot, everything works
just as it should.
Tested on two RH62 boxes, one with ~vanilla 2.2.15, the other w/ redhat's
2.2.14-12. Using net-tools 1.55.
HTH, Regards,
