[Bug 1174418] Re: Privacy Extensions are set by default on Ubuntu 13.04, but no temporary address will be generate

[Alberto Salvia Novella]

** Description changed:

  Description: Ubuntu 13.04
  Release: 13.04
  
  Privacy Extensions are set by default on Ubuntu 13.04, but no temporary
- address will be generate.
+ address will be generated.
  
  In sysctl (by default):
  
  net.ipv6.conf.all.use_tempaddr = 2
  
  --> that means: create and prefer privacy addresses and use them over
  the normal addresses.
  
  If i added the same line "net.ipv6.conf.all.use_tempaddr = 2" to the
  file /etc/sysctl.conf, everythings works fine after a restart. The
  problem is, that the parameter "2" is set by default (results shown by:
  "sysctl -a"), but don't work. In Ubuntu 12.04/12.10 this problem don't
  appears.
  
  Thanks for reading this. I love Ubuntu :)!
