DD-WRT's IPv6 support also feels patchy, OpenWrt's documentation looks better but I've yet to try it.

Re: [Hampshire] IPv6 ADSL router recommendations
Part of my motivation for doing this is to learn about IPv6 on the internet and on the LAN (including wifi) so that I can set it up for clients eventually. So using a fairly standard commercially available router would be preferable. Entanet support PPPoE connections. That's good to know. cheers Chris You could also terminate a (free) v6 tunnel from Hurricane Electric on a internal machine and use that to deal with v6 on the LAN. That's the way I started playing with it.

Routerboards. Linitx.com sell them. Any alixboard running m0n0wall will do it too. Routerboard 750 under 40 quid. Sent from my HTC - Reply message - From: Chris Dennis cgden...@btinternet.com To: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Subject: [Hampshire] IPv6 ADSL router recommendations Date: Tue, Feb 21, 2012 7:37 pm Hello Folks Has anyone actually got a (modestly priced) IPv6 ADSL router working (i.e. IP6 to the ISP, and IP6 on the LAN)? I bought a Technicolor/Thompson TG582N on the basis that Andrews and Arnold are using it for IP6, but it seems that I didn't read the small print: it only works with specially upgraded firmware that is only available from AA. So that's going back to broadbandstuff.co.uk who advertised it as 'IPv6 ready'. My ISP, Entanet, offers IPv6, and suggests some routers (http://noc.enta.net/ipv6-over-xdsl/) but they're all expensive Cisco ones. The Billion 7800N apparently works but costs £120. There are also some D-Link ones such as the DIR-815 at about £65 which ought to do the job. Does anyone have any recommendations? cheers Chris -- Chris Dennis cgden...@btinternet.com Fordingbridge, Hampshire, UK -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --

[Hampshire] Adobe Flash
I figure I'll be the first to mention it: http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Chrome-only-future-for-Flash-on-Linux-1440104.html What is your take on this development? will anyone be converting to Chrome from another browser because of this? it is a good/bad thing? My annoyance here is the same as my annoyance with Silverlight - video sites (netflix et al) are finding more and more ways to prevent access from our favourite OS because of the Movie/TV studio requirement for DRM on all streams. With flash leaving the playing field, we're losing the last remaining compatible solution that the studios may have agreed to a video site using. -- Regards, The Honeymonster aka Daniel Llewellyn -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --

I shan't convert. I don't much like Chrome. But I shall probably run it for news items etc. :-( That is, if I can. I am still running Lenny - it's a long story - and Google, bless it, has disabled the copy of Chrome I already had on the grounds that it is too old, and will not allow me to install anything on Lenny (too old).
