What I have found are all the IPv6-related patches from 2.6.8.1 to 2.6.9 (there aren't that many) so I might have a go at patching the kernel with them. > Personally, I'd get a new router without binary blobs, value of time spent > doing the shoehorning > price of new router, I'm sure, but you may value > your free time differently :) I've got five weeks off to do with as I please. I need something to do, otherwise I'm going to go mad :) > I do know sixxs ipv6 tunnels are rock solid with openwrt (2.4-based) ;) Hmm, I've got a source pack for a version of the DG834GT firmware that was based on an older kernel (2.4.17) - is IPv6 in 2.4.17 generally considered to be quite stable? If it is, I'll have a go at shoehorning my RC scripts onto the older firmware and maybe try and transplant the ADSL line controller firmware too... Thanks. -- Phil. | (\_/) This is Bunny.
