IPv6 Support

[libc]

Clients don't receive ipv6 cause no global reachable address on your interfaces. Ticket says ipv6 gui might be busted.

Try this (obtained from tunnelbroker, linux-route2):

ip tunnel add he-ipv6 mode sit remote 216.66.84.46 local YOUR_IP ttl 255
ip link set he-ipv6 up
ip addr add 2001:470:1f14:31e::2/64 dev he-ipv6
ip route add ::/0 dev he-ipv6
ip addr add 2001:470:1f15:31e::1/64 dev br0

then try to ping6 2001:470:0:64::2

If works create radvd (router advertisment daemon) config and run it. I posted a config earlier.

[wpte]

nah those codes don't even work for my windows xp/vista/7 machine

anyway, ipv6 works! yay

ping6 ipv6.he.net
PING ipv6.he.net (2001:470:0:64::2): 56 data bytes

--- ipv6.he.net ping statistics ---
9 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss

radvd is not running atm
it does exist:

radvd -h
usage: radvd [-vh] [-d level] [-C config_file] [-m log_method] [-l log_file]
[-f facility] [-p pid_file] [-u username] [-t chrootdir]

manual start does not run:

radvd -u root -C /etc/radvd.conf -l /var/log/radvd.log -p /var
/run/radvd.pid

other results are the same as last time

[libc]

they're not for windows, they're for linux. You're supposed to run this on your router. I guess you did or gui start working?

If you can ping ipv6 on router, you need is router advertisements then. You should try to run radvd without any arguments.

You're trying to run radvd from root. But there's no root, there's admin instead. Also you're really don't need logs and pid.

no I know they're for linux, but the windows versions on that site neither work for me
on the router they fail to create a tunnel

I can ping, no package is returned tho. I'm still missing a few tunnels and routes I think. radvd without any arguments doesn't work as well

I'm root on my router, so there is a root

Not sure if my openvpn is in the way with a tun adapter... I couldn't see any difference when it was turned off tho

my guess is I need to get that dnsmasq working with ipv6..

[kamil]

Any have firmware oleg WL500gp-1.9.2.7-d-r740.trx and work IPv6? Any compiled this version included work IPv6?

Why IPv6 turned off?

Why IPv6 turned off?

I have it partially working at the moment...
IPv6 is turned off because nobody could test it and there have been kernel updates etc.
when I can get it working maybe lly and theMIRon will turn it on again, after sufficient testing I guess

I can perform test if anybody put on the web firmware signed "beta"

[lly]

I can perform test if anybody put on the web firmware signed "beta"

This means that most of tests are already done by someone else.

Currently, only qualified testers, like wpte, are needed. I wrote this in Issue 50.

[libc]

my guess is I need to get that dnsmasq working with ipv6..

No. dnsmasq is a dns forwarder and dhcp. NDP is preferred in ipv6 (also acts as ARP) instead of dhcp. dnsmasq is not your problem. You don't have a tunnel (sit thing).

I guess you mean this thing: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/Ne...ng#SIT_tunnels

these commands do something to the system:

ip tu ad sittun mode sit local 10.7.7.7 remote 10.8.8.8 ttl 64 dev eth0
ip ad ad dev sittun 2001:0DB8:1234::000e/127

since I end up with a new device:

sittun    Link encap:IPv6-in-IPv4
          inet6 addr: fe80::a07:707/128 Scope:Link
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP  MTU:1480  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) 

further... kernel seems to compile with ipv6 dnsmasq has support for it as well

ndp is not included in the firmware it seems, maybe I can build it in later this week, since I have a week off

[libc]

I guess you mean this thing: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/Ne...ng#SIT_tunnels

exactly

since I end up with a new device:

sittun    Link encap:IPv6-in-IPv4
          inet6 addr: fe80::a07:707/128 Scope:Link
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP  MTU:1480  Metric:1

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) 

You don't have ipv6 address on this interface. (only scope:link).

ndp is not included in the firmware it seems, maybe I can build it in later this week, since I have a week off

radvd implements ndp. radvd is included.


You're supposed to run these commands to get your hurricane electric tunnel work:

ip tunnel add sit0 mode sit remote 216.66.84.46 local YOUR_IP ttl 255
ip link set sit0 up
ip addr add 2001:470:1f14:31e::2/64 dev sit0
ip route add ::/0 dev sit0
ip addr add 2001:470:1f15:31e::1/64 dev br0

and I have it working

I can ping ipv6 adresses on the computers in the netwerk though!

as lly said it was indeed the dnsmasq...
just comment out the ifeq in the dnsmasq makefile located in /broadcom/src/gateway/dnsmasq

#ifeq ($(CONFIG_IPV6),y)
COPTS += -DUSE_IPV6
#endif
export COPTS 

and done

I'll post up some compiled versions tomorrow

My ipv4 dns (not dnsmasq, good old powerdns) doesn't have problem with AAAA records

no way

powerdns? as replacement for dnsmasq
it runs properly now so I guess I'll stick with dnsmasq.

and in my enthusiasm I forgot to say thank you libc for your support
