tcpdump with --enable-ipv6

[sodb]

I'd like to dump ipv6 packets on the 6over4 tunnel interface. Has anyone successfully compiled tcpdump (e.g. version 3.8.3) with ipv6 enabled? I looked in the wl500g firmware source of oleg (1.9.2.7-5a) how tcpdump and libpcap were compiled, but couldn't find it. Is the executable just put in the root filesystem?

Libpcap 0.8.3. seems to compile after making a small change in the ./configure script where it checks for linux version.

Tcpdump configure script probes local ipv6 config instead of that of the cross compiled system.

Any ideas?

use ipkg version, the one in the 5a would be removed.

Ipkg version does not support v6 either. Donwloaded it form http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/unslung/wl500g/. See output while doing a ping6:
