Am I wrong ? FreeBSD does not support IPv6 ? Sure it does. It just doesn't come out of the box with it because there were too many choices. There were three IPv6 stacks with FreeBSD versions, and the core team decided to wait until one of these stacks came out the "winner" before committing it to the tree. It should be clear that committing to any one too soon would stagnate FreeBSD development for the others. Meanwhile, anyone could just grab the source for any of these stacks and install it. Alas, they finally decided to join their efforts, which goes to show that the core team decision was on the mark. It's my impression that we'll have IPv6 stack on -stable for the next release. -- Daniel C.
