It didn't help.

IPv6 is currently not working and it's still 1000 Full on both sides 
("show int GiX/Y" and "ethtool eth0").
No errors in "ethtool -S eth0" or "show int GiX/Y".

"ethtool eth0" output is the same as yesterday.

Here's the addresses and routing table as they are now, and have been 
since reboot:

$ ip -6 a

     inet6 ::1/128 scope host

2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qlen 1000
     inet6 2a00:800:752:1::5c:2/112 scope global
        valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
