There's a BIG difference: almost everybody on the Internet will have to run IPv6 sooner or later. The potential user base is much bigger than for a ISDN driver for a specific card, it's much less likely to be forgotten or unmaintained. > the WIDE project to me, frankly.

I can't provide 24/24 7/7 support on IPv6, but I'd be glad to support the INRIA IPv6 code for -current if there is a need for committers. That's what I'm already doing with my set of patches I need to update every now and then, it can only be easier for me if that code is integrated in the main tree. -- Pierre Beyssac pb@fasterix.frmug.org pb@fasterix.freenix.org {Free,Net,Open}BSD, Linux : il y a moins bien, mais c'est plus cher Free domains: http://www.eu.org/ or mail dns-manager@EU.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
