[Openswan Users] IPv6 Openswan trouble

[Paul Whelan]

Hello,

I am having trouble trying to setup Openswan using ipv6.
I get the error 

# service ipsec restart
ipsec_setup: Stopping Openswan IPsec...
ipsec_setup: stop ordered, but IPsec does not appear to be running!
ipsec_setup: doing cleanup anyway...
ipsec_setup: Starting Openswan IPsec U2.4.9/K2.6.18-prep...
ipsec_setup: unable to determine address of `eth1'

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the interface it's trying
to use. I can ping it using ping6 command, and ping from and to another
host 

(connected via crossover) setup up in the same way with antoher ipv6 address.

Everything works perfectly when i use ipv4 addresses.
I've tried Klips and netkey both with the same error.

Does Openswan 2.4.9 work with ipv6 out of the box or is there any patches required?

# ifconfig eth1
eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:40:F4:87:5C:5A
          inet6 addr: 2001:db8:1:1::1/64 Scope:Global
          inet6 addr: fe80::240:f4ff:fe87:5c5a/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:28 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:5300 (5.1 KiB)
          Interrupt:225 Base address:0xe400


Following is my ipsec.conf
