IPv6

[Petr Michalec]

Hi, what is the status of IPv6 in Alt-F? Is it possible to enable it in non-flashed mode? Experience?
In setup/host I see Enable IPv6 as grey checkbox and cant enable it. Do I have to commet the line KIP=yes in fun_plug first + reboot?

Thanks, PMi

I only tested it lightly, but someone reported that it is working (but the httpd server does not accepts IPv6 in its configuration file).

I can see no reasons for it not work.

 

Experience?

No, you only have to install the "kernel modules" package. No need to reboot (only if you which to dis-activate it)

 

As the online help page says:

• Enable IPv6: protocol for the next generation internet.
  Most users don't need it. If you activate it it will became immediately active; if you disable it it will become disabled only after the next reboot.
  The kernel-modules package must be installed first. 

I definitively have to change the (?) help icon near the page title to a big HELP button, as it seems that nobody notices it as it is now!

Thanks, PMi

I'm using Alt-F + IPv6 in reloaded mode, it works great (I am planning
on flashing, but after my console cable arrives...)
