I think the ones who need to see the light are the access providers, but I have read or been told that the issue there is the availability of consumer-level IPv6-cabable CPE.
Actually, some ISPs have seen the light and some consumer level equipment is now IPv6 capable. A friend of mine has a router, not sure if D-Link or Linksys, that can handle IPv6. Modern operating systems, including Linux, BSD, Mac and Windows have been IPv6 ready for years. I'd strongly recommend people set up tunnels to IPv6 brokers in the mean time. I use Freenet6 from http://gogonet.gogo6.com. They have clients for Linux, Windows, Mac and BSD and can be configured for either a /56 subnet or a single address. There are other tunnel brokers available.
If you're technically minded and if your provider will dish out an IPv6 network, you could just set up your adsl box to run in bridging mode and then run pppd. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (21.4°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
