this setting was added in 2016 in commit
bcdd81d9e1
the posibility to preferTempAddress was added to
nixos/network-interface in 2018 in commit
1fec496f38
preferTempAddress was renamed to tempAddress
in 2020 in commit 2485e6399e
therefore this setting is redundant since nm will use the sysctl option
nixos/network-interfaces: add default to sysctl so that the value for it
is set
networkmanager falls back to it
https://man.archlinux.org/man/NetworkManager.conf.5
allows configuration of foo-over-udp decapsulation endpoints. sadly networkd
seems to lack the features necessary to support local and peer address
configuration, so those are only supported when using scripted configuration.
We currently build CONFIG_IPV6=m.
This seems to be not really well-supported in mainline kernels - see
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20201115224509.2020651-1-flokli@flokli.de/T/#u
Compiling it as a module doesn't give too much benefit - even for people
who did explicitly set `enableIPv6` to false, the `ipv6` module was
still loaded, as soon as another module was loaded that requires it
(bridge,br_netfilter,wireguard,ip6table_mangle,sctp,…).
By compiling it in, we only loose the possibility to not add it to
`boot.kernelModules` anymore (as it's part of the kernel directly). The
space savings are negligible.
People wanting to disable IPv6 still get the appropriate sysctls and
options set (while having the kernel code loaded), nothing is really
changing here.
This reverts commit fb6d63f3fd.
I really hope this finally fixes#99236: evaluation on Hydra.
This time I really did check basically the same commit on Hydra:
https://hydra.nixos.org/eval/1618011
Right now I don't have energy to find what exactly is wrong in the
commit, and it doesn't seem important in comparison to nixos-unstable
channel being stuck on a commit over one week old.
Conform to RFC 1123 [0], specifically to "2.1 Host Names and Numbers",
which allow starting host name with alphanumerical instead of alphabetical characters.
RFC 1123 updates RFC 952 [1], which is referenced in "man 5 hosts".

rfkill was subsumed by util-linux in 2017 [1], and the upstream has not
been updated in over 5 years [2]. This package shadows the rfkill from
util-linux, so it can be completely removed with no breaking changes,
because util-linux is in the base package set in nixos/system-path.

This fixes a regression from 993baa587c which requires
networking.hostName to be a valid DNS label [0].
Unfortunately we missed the fact that the hostnames may also be empty,
if the user wants to obtain it from a DHCP server. This is even required
by a few modules/images (e.g. Amazon EC2, Azure, and Google Compute).

The `networking.interfaces.<name?>.proxyARP` option previously mentioned it would also enable IPv6 forwarding and `proxy_ndp`.
However, the `proxy_ndp` option was never actually set (the non-existing `net.ipv6.conf.proxy_arp` sysctl was set
instead). In addition `proxy_ndp` also needs individual entries for each ip to proxy for.
Proxy ARP and Proxy NDP are two different concepts, and enabling the latter
should be a conscious decision.
This commit removes the broken NDP support, and disables explicitly
enabling IPv6 forwarding (which is the default in most cases anyways)
Fixes#62339.
