Unfortunately, FreeBSD 4.2 (and even 4.3) is quite buggy about the IPv6 address/prefix manipulation. If possible, please use recent versions of KAME snaps (which can be available at http://www.kame.net/), or wait for the next release of FreeBSD (probably 4.4). Otherwise, you'll see many strange behaviors or even kernel panic. > 2) Iam not presenly using the prefix command. Iam entering the prefixes in the configuration file "/etc/defaults/dc.conf" as > ipv6_prefix_wb0="fec0:0010:0000:0000 fec0:0011:0000:0000". This configuration implicitly uses the prefix command. See /etc/rc.network6. > 3) Iam using the "if_prefixhead" member of the "ifnet" structure to just get the prefixes configured for the interface. If it can be got from the in6_ifaddr structure itself then kindly help me with this. As I repeatedly said, please just forget the ifprefix link. You should just follow the link from ifnet->if_addrlist. > 4) I couldn't understand ur 4th point of > "please do not use the start up script, but do operation by hand > (for diagnose the problem)." > If this means not to use the configuration file to enter the prefixes > then sorry iam using it. So, for diagnosing the problem, please do not use the configuration script (i.e. /etc/defaults/rc.conf, etc) for now. Just boot the machine without the script, login to the machine as root, then type # ifconfig ne0 inet6 fec0:0010::1234 prefixlen 64 alias etc. JINMEI, Tatuya Communication Platform Lab.
