My ISP is trialling native IPv6 connectivity over ADSL. I have successfully got my Speedtouch 546v6 modem/router into bridge mode so that the PC is managing the PPPoE connection itself.
The ISP has given me IPv6 addresses to use. I can connect OK to the ISP with the DSL tab of Network Manager but I can only see IPv4 options on DSL, whereas with the wired auto eth0 conection there is an IPv6 tab although the dropdown is set to "ignore". PPP provides the IPv4 address, DNS server and so on but I need to add the IPv6 equivalents manually - how to do this please ? Phil As this is a trial I'm prepared to try a live CD of a different distro if that would make it easier for some reason. My wireless and wired interfaces do have IPv6 address :- phil@minuet:~$ ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:22:68:80:b4:16 inet6 addr: fe80::222:68ff:fe80:b416/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:7256 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:6610 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:3586307 (3.5 MB) TX bytes:890497 (890.4 KB) Interrupt:27 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:224687 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:224687 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:37540689 (37.5 MB) TX bytes:37540689 (37.5 MB) ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:78.x.y.z P-t-P:188.39.1.10 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1492 Metric:1 RX packets:6777 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:6262 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:3 RX bytes:3396245 (3.3 MB) TX bytes:689329 (689.3 KB) wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:07:40:ba:26:fc inet addr:192.168.1.121 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::207:40ff:feba:26fc/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1491 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:212 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:288577 (288.5 KB) TX bytes:37316 (37.3 KB) _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
