Network manager registering thousands of IPv6 addresses
I was noticing Network Manager and nm-applet were taking a lot of CPU, and in the process of inspecting it, I ran ip a. There were thousandos of temporary addresses associated with my Ethernet device. To give an idea, here's a line count:
ip a | wc
23128 120541 1537623
As soon as I plug in the Ethernet cable, Network Manager stars registering temporary IPv6 addresses, at an approximate rate of 2 addresses per second.
daemon.log shows multiple messages akin to the following
Feb 15 17:12:36 pulga nm-dispatcher: req:18 'dhcp6-change' [enp2s0]: new request (1 scripts)
Feb 15 17:12:36 pulga nm-dispatcher: req:18 'dhcp6-change' [enp2s0]: start running ordered scripts...
But they stop after a while.
On the other hand, syslog is littered with messages like the following:
Feb 15 17:12:51 pulga kernel: [ 639.006713] IPv6: ipv6_create_tempaddr: retry temporary address regeneration
I also keep getting a duplicate IP warning in messages when connected to wireless network. Is this unrelated, or does it suggest something wrong with our network configuration?
