But from >prolonged exposure to the kame lists I (think I) know that the FreeBSD ipv6 >stuff is only available for 3.x and below. We (KAME) are using 3.2-RELEASE and 2.2.8-RELEASE because we can't base our IPv6 development on top of moving target. FreeBSD 3.x-STABLE and 4.x are moving target (which moves very quickly) and are unusable as base version for us - if we need to chase two moving things (IPv6 and FreeBSD) we are doomed. There has been NRL/INRIA/KAME integration work going on (basically to avoid "4 BSDs and 3 IPv6 = 12 choices" nightmare by making one IPv6 stack). There are, mainly, some (or too many) management issues there. We will be resolving management issues issue very soon, hopefully by next week. There's incomplete "unified" codebase there, which is not very ready for public consumption. Anyway please hold till the managment issue is resolved, I believe I can give you a good news. itojun To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
