Hi Joel,

You don't seem to have an IPv4 address, even for obtaining a dhcp
lease. Is this what you expect? If not, then the problem would seem to
be wider in scope than just IPv6.

Do you have network-manager or the like installed which could be
trying to configure the interface on its own?

Is there anything
different in the dmesg(1) output for eth1 than for your other
interfaces?

Since ifconfig is depricated, what does:

ip address show eth1

give you?

What does:

cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth1/autoconf

output?
Other than that, that's all I can think of at the moment.
