IPv6 for everyone

Posted on Thu, 2007/08/16 - 21:24, by dwarner

I've often wanted to setup IPv6 at home and for Argo, but I was intimidated by setting up tunnels and such since none of my providers (Comcast or CTI|Networks) has direct IPv6 support yet.

Now someone has gone and made a nice and easy how-they-did-it guide:

I might be getting some IPv6 love in the next month or so..

Thanks for the inspiration to setup IPv6 on my LAN. :-) I wanted to get IPv6 setup on plasma without a reboot, so I compiled IPv6 support as a module but insmod is complaining about some missing symbols when I try to load ipv6. Oh well, I ended up going back and compiling it directly into the kernel rather than a module. So the next time plasma gets rebooted it should be ready to go. :-)

Yeah! Too bad PA.net doesn't have IPv6 support yet; if argo and plasma talk to each other via IPv6 right now it'd be pretty ugly since it'd have to go through the tunnels to do it.
