Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20

Just specifying:

net.ipv6.conf.default.autoconf=0
net.ipv6.conf.all.autoconf=0

in sysctl.conf does not actually disable autoconf.

Explicitly setting

net.ipv6.conf.eth0.autoconf=0

on the other hand does work (if I've added "ipv6" to /etc/modules, but that's another issue).

Our workaround for this is to list enough ethN to cover "all likely" network interfaces, but that's not exactly a neat solution.
