libnl errors when adding IPv6 default / multicast routes
Last modified: 2011-11-02 14:20:40 UTC
I've noticed errors adding IPv6 routes in general from libnl: "Missing attribute" Unfortunately, I don't know what additional attribute might be required for IPv6, so currently unable to provide a patch. For the default route, pass 2 appears to properly do the job but I suspect this should be fixed: Sep 23 19:53:46 gaea NetworkManager[844]: <warn> Failed to add route Missing attribute Sep 23 19:53:46 gaea NetworkManager[844]: <error> [1316822026.287427] [nm-system.c:1041] nm_system_replace_default_ip6_route(): (wlan0): failed to set IPv6 default route: -1 There's a similar issue but with an "object not found" error for the IPv6 multicast route before starting dhcpv6: Sep 23 19:53:42 gaea NetworkManager[844]: <info> Activation (wlan0) Stage 3 of 5 (IP Configure Start) starting DHCPv6 as requested by IPv6 router... Sep 23 19:53:42 gaea NetworkManager[844]: <warn> Failed to add route Object not found Sep 23 19:53:42 gaea NetworkManager[844]: <error> [1316822022.270895] [nm-device.c:1784] dhcp6_start(): (wlan0): failed to add IPv6 multicast route: Object not found Sep 23 19:53:42 gaea NetworkManager[844]: <info> Activation (wlan0) Beginning DHCPv6 transaction (timeout in 45 seconds) Sep 23 19:53:42 gaea NetworkManager[844]: <info> dhclient started with pid 973 Sep 23 19:53:42 gaea dhclient: Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client 4.1.1-P1
I hope that's been fixed in libnl now. For the record: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/libnl/2011-October/000360.html
