Maybe we should get this thread back on track and focus on IPv6 - we've recently upgraded to LANCOM DSL modem, which unfortunately does not (yet?) support IPv6. Unless LANCOM brings out IPv6 support in the next year or so, my intention is to set it up in bridging mode (RFC1483) and run pppd/pppoe on my gateway. It's not an entirely trivial exercise, last time I attempted it, I stumbled over something in openSUSEs pppd setup that didn't work. There is a bug report on it, but I didn't have the time to investigate it any further, so it was closed. One alternative would be different hardware - wrt professional xDSL routers, what is out there that excplicitly supports IPv6? (no Ciscos and no Zyxels, please).
D-Link has some models, such as the DIR-825, that support IPv6, including 6in4 tunneling. However, I haven't used one, so I have no idea about the details. What's wrong with Cisco? They're one of the leaders in providing IPv6 support.
The dearth of recommendations of suitable hardware may point to the biggest reason that ipv6 is only slowly being adopted. I'm sure there must be more than just two providers of hardware, but perhaps when the principal ipv6 advocate on this list (a collection of geeks) can only come up with two, THAT says something about why things are slow. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
