Just moved my firewall/gateway from 2.6.15 to 2.6.16-rc1, and had a
couple IPv6-related problems really bite me.
1) radvd runs at 100% CPU (CentOS 4 userland, 2.6.15 worked fine). I
had to kill it.

Again, 2.6.15 works just fine.
Config attached. 32-bit x86 uniprocessor w/ HT (thus, SMP config).

The fix just went in Linus' tree ([IPV6]: Preserve procfs IPV6 address
output format).

Known problem, fixed by Yoshifuji in current GIT. /proc/net/if_net6's
output format got mistakedly changed, and this confused named and
ifconfig, among other things.

For reference, add dnsmasq to the list of confused userspace: the
signature error is:
failed to find list of interfaces: No such device
