Public bug reported: This is at the bottom of my /etc/sysctl.conf
net.ipv6.conf.all.use_tempaddr = 2 net.ipv6.conf.wlan0.use_tempaddr = 2 net.ipv6.conf.eth0.use_tempaddr = 2 net.ipv6.conf.eth1.use_tempaddr = 2 Yet, after a reboot: $ sysctl net.ipv6.conf.wlan0.use_tempaddr net.ipv6.conf.wlan0.use_tempaddr = 0 $ sysctl net.ipv6.conf.eth0.use_tempaddr net.ipv6.conf.eth0.use_tempaddr = 2 then as root: # sysctl net.ipv6.conf.wlan0.use_tempaddr=2 net.ipv6.conf.wlan0.use_tempaddr = 2 This is on Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit.
