Hi! Everyone,
Thanks to those of you who replied to help me to sign up onto this
list. My name is Herman Strom. I work for Touro College located the
heart of New York City. I have checked some of the topic you discuss
here. They are pretty impressive.
I work on a project involving IPv6 and its Linux implementation. I run
it on DELL Pentium 100 system with IBM Token-Ring network adapter. I
have Slackware 6.3-beta running on my box with kernel version 2.2.12
and glibc-2.1.1.
I am not exactly sure how to detect bugs but this might be it. From
all the documentation that I have read on IPv6, it seems like as IPv6
is self-configured. And particularly, from all Linux+IPv6 documents
that I have read, I gather that as soon as IPv6 module loads, it must
self-configure 'lo' device as 'inet6 addr: 0::1/128 Scope:Host' and
any other network device with a link-local use address (on FE80::0/10
the link-local use network).
In actuality, though when I load IPv6 module with 'insmod ipv6'
command, and run 'lsmod' command, it concerns me when I see (-1) in
the 'Used' column. 'lo' gets self-configured when I do 'ifconfig sit0
up'. However 'tr0' never gets self-configured. Later when I want to
unload 'ipv6' module, having de-ifconfig all of the IPv6 interfaces, I
find that the module is still busy.
It might be a buggy interaction between 'ibmtr' and 'ipv6' modules or
maybe something else. Please Comment if you can.
Thanks alot.
Bye,
Herm
