<gnu_srs> There is one already:

<braunr> personally, i'd advocate resuing code from netbsd

+ <braunr> we're beginning to seriously lack ipv6 though
+ <youpi> what is the actual problem?
+ <youpi> (again)
+ <youpi> lack?
+ <youpi> we do have ipv6 working
+ <braunr> i couldn't have it work with public addresses
+ <youpi> uh?
+ <youpi> I believe it worked for me
+ <braunr> yes i told you a few months back
+ <gnu_srs> braunr reported recently that v6 did not work as expected?
+ <youpi> I don't remember about that (and my inbox neither)
+ <braunr> it was only on irc
+ <braunr> routing would be nice to have too
+ <braunr> the stack can do it but we lack the interface
+ <braunr> anyway, there would be benefits on working on it, but what we have
+ now is fine and again, there are priorities
+ <youpi> braunr: it seems ndp doesn't work indeed, I wonder why, it was
+ working for me
+ <braunr> that's what i found too
+ <braunr> there have been other additions to the ipv6 spec over time, i
+ don't know what else we might be lacking
+ <youpi> ndp is elder
+ <braunr> yes ndp isn't lacking
+ <youpi> and pfinet *does* actually do ndp :)
+ <braunr> that's a different issue
+ <braunr> my debugging session ended in the routing code
+ <braunr> and i didn't investigate further
+ <youpi> braunr: it seems the BPF filter on /dev/eth0 doesn't include IPv6
+ frames
+ <youpi> that'd explain that it worked before but not any more
+ <braunr> oh
+ <braunr> good
+ <braunr> i'd love to assign global addresses to our VMs :)
+ <youpi> ok, it goes through, there is just a remaining multicast join issue
+ <youpi> yep, ethernet_set_multi is empty :)
+ <youpi> ok, enabling ALLMULTI was enough to fix it
+ <youpi> you can ping6 2001:910:1059:2:5054:00ff:fe12:3456 :)

+ <youpi> gnu_srs, gnu_srs1: fyi, I'm having a look at cherry-picking the
+ v6only option from linux

+ <gnu_srs> youpi: From when is the Linux
+ 524354b4d086a4f013343d727eaccb7b4c39eb25 commit (IPV6_V6ONLY)?
+ <youpi> which repo?
+ <youpi> I don't have such commit here
+ <gnu_srs>
+ http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/hurd.git/commit/?id=2b2d7fdc42475019e5ce3eabc9c9673e3c13d89f
+ <gnu_srs> From which release, 2.4.x, 2.6.x?
+ <youpi> it's very old
+ <youpi> 2002
+ <youpi> it's not in the current linux git tree, but in the "history" tree
+ <youpi> I don't remember its url
+ <braunr> git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git
+ <braunr> might be even older
