Will this modified firmware fit?
I have recompiled 1.9.2.7-7e with every #HAVE_INET6=y changed to HAVE_INET=y. I lack the courage to upload it into my wl500gx because I am afraid that it might be too big. How can I tell?
Here are the few numbers that I have.
Modified firmware .trx file 3,510,272
Unmodified 3,506,176
Difference 4096
Modified target.cramfs 2,803,187
Unmodified 2,797,695
Difference 5492
The vmlinuz are almost the same: the new one is smaller than the old one by 86
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
Native ipv6 connection works
I now have a native ipv6 connection through my wl500gx router.
In the "Additional pppd options" window of IP Config-WAN&LAN in the internet interface I entered
ipv6 , ipv6cp-use-persisten
The comma and spaces are intended. If I did this before I re-compiled the firmware to enable ipv6 in ppp, the router would not signon to internet. Now it does. I could sniff the exchange of packets between the router and the ADSL modem, and I could see ipv6 being set up.
To sniff the packets I used the Tethereal ipkg package. I assume Tcpdump would work, too. The command
killall -1 pppd
disconnects, not reboots, the router and reconnects it about 30 seconds later. This gives time to start Tethereal. The command
tethereal -i vlan1
sniffs the packets going through the WAN interface. Note that rebooting will not work because Tethereal will not be running during the connection of the router.
An ipv6 global default route is not set up automatically so I added one.
ip -f inet6 route add 2000::/3 dev ppp0 metric 9999
The huge metric is to avoid packets bouncing back and forth between me and my ISP. At the moment this route is added manually after each reboot.
Normally my ISP expects me to use dhcpv6 to get my prefix, but I do not have it on the wl500gx router yet. However, I do have dhcpv6 on my Linux box, and I got the prefix using it. Apparently my ISP uses dhcpv6 just to give out prefixes and, at the moment, nothing else.
My connection to internet is now dual-stack; that is, either ipv4 or ipv6 is used as appropriate. This is not something that I did; it is built in.
My evidence that I really do have ipv6 connection capability in addition to ipv4 is that several ipv6 sites have told me that I do. Some have even sent back my ipv6 address.
The set up here is fragile, and I need to play with the system more, and I would like to have a dhcpv6 ipkg.
HOWTO: IPv6 6to4 support?
Hello!
Is there a way to use IPv6 using 6to4, not a tunnel from sixxs?
If I connest my computer direct to my modem, I automaticalli get a IPv6 Address and cna connect to IPv6 sites.
Can I make this work with the router?
Can someone compile Gateway6 Client for IPv6
Hello,
Can some skilled user please compile this software?
It is used to create a free IPv6 Tunnel, and the registration at Go6 is a lot easyer than at sixxs!
Here is the Software.

There is even a OpenWRT port!
