I have submitted a patch to solve this bug.
Has not been accepted thow :-(


Hi,

I found that creating an ipv6 tunnel with ifconfig does not work.
after some comparing between a 2.2 kernel and 2.4.0.testX I found 
that the name of the newly created sit device is not passed back to the
reqestor. 
See linux/net/ipv6/addrconf.c and follow the call chain.
This seems to be introduced by fact that the parameters in 2.4 
are copied while in 2.2 kernels this was not the case.
My simple patch fixes this one problem. after applying 
I can now successfuly create ipv6 tunnels with ifconfig.

Please apply this patch.

thanks,

Jorg

Tunnel (or smth. like that) support is missing from the kernel. Load the
module or recompile kernel. It has helped me with the same message with ipip
tunnels for multicast routing.

2.4.0-test9-pre3: sit tunnel problems

[Gerhard Mack]

ifconfig sit0 up tunnel ::206.123.31.102
SIOCSIFDSTADDR: No buffer space available
 
Anyone know why it does this? I can't seem to find any documentation on
that error...
