Comment 2 for bug 105863

First I need to correct a typo: A "tftpd-hal" package doesn't exist, I meant tftpd-hpa.

I observed the bug under Kubuntu 6.06.1, but it seems to be a general problem of tftpd which can also be seen under other distributions. Problems are described e.g. here:

and here (in German):

Some postings I read suggest the problem is caused by tftpd trying to setup an IPv6 connection, which cannot be handled by U-Boot. I don't know if this is true or not. But several web pages I found say that tftpd-hpa is the only tftp server that is actually working in their application.
