I have been trying to get ipv6 to work
on sparc64/kernel 2.4 but it looks like it
is broken somewhere in the kernel.
I was wondering if this was a known problem.

It's the same on PARISC. However, on PARISC, although ping6 doesn't work,
telnet etc do work, as well as pinging the PARISC box from an Intel or
Alpha machine.
For now, i assume there might be an endianess issue in net/ipv6/raw.c
somewhere... Has anyone tested IPv6 on m68k?
Cheers,
Jochen

The reason I ask this is because I have been trying to setup a
tunnel, and I cant get it to work either with ifconfig or iproute.
[root@towel ip]# ip tunnel add blink mode sit remote x.x.x.x dev
eth0

At least on PARISC, this turned out to be an glibc issue. With the latest
glibc from debian unstable, ping6 is now working OK:
# ping6 -n http://www.kame.net

The reason this fails is because SIOCADDTUNNEL uses SIOCDEVPRIVATE
which can't be translated properly to/from 32-bit apps running
on 64-bit kernels.
