Hello,
I believe there is a bug in addrconf.c with the code related to Privacy
Extension of Stateless Autoconfiguration. In the function
ipv6_create_tempaddr(), the time stamp of the temporary address is made same
as that of the public address.
ift->tstamp = ifp->tstamp;
As a result of this the regenerated temporary address will be put in
deprecated state automatically by addrconf_verify(). Instead if we replace
this statement with [ift->tstamp = jifffies], it works fine.
Could anybody comment.

Regards,
Sabari
