Subject: [PATCH installer 2/2] install: do not force gateway to IPv6 RA-received on non-bridged setups
Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2026 15:27:02 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260610132710.199825-2-c.heiss@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260610132710.199825-1-c.heiss@proxmox.com>
Skip writing the default gateway for the management interface to
/etc/network/interfaces if it was originally received through an IPv6
RA.
Otherwise, fresh, non-bridged (aka. anything other than PVE)
installations will repeatedly, i.e. on every received RA advertising a
different SLAAC-capable prefix, report an error in the journal that a
default gateway already exists.
The Rust struct definitions are not touched, as the information is not
needed there (yet).
