Title: ipv6 ???
Post by: krbonne on April 03, 2014, 12:49:21 AM
Hi,


I installed the latest debian image (kernel 3.4.79+) on my A13 mini. It seams to be a very stable release (and even support some of the USB wifi dongles I have), except ...

no ipv6 support?


This is probably the first time I see a board with such a new kernel but without ipv6. Is this something on purpose? I do not seams to be able to find the kernel-modules for ipv6 on the distro.


As I manage all my devices remotely over ipv6, this is "a bit of a problem".
I also want to use the board to experiment with porting certain ham-related applications to ipv6.


So, how do I get ipv6 on this board?




Cheerio! Kr. Bonne.

I'm not sure if there is some ready to use image or pre-build kernel with IPv6, but you can always build a custom kernel with IPv6 support enabled.

Agreed.  Doesn't seem a "board" thing at all.  Just build your own choice of features.
