Hi, Here at $dayjob we make embedded network devices (routers & switches). Because we have an interest in getting people to adopt IPv6 we've added code to our local u-boot repository to add basic IPv6 support on our boards. It's not a fully conformant IPv6 host implementation but it is enough to be able to statically configure an IPv6 address and download images from a v6 capable TFTP server.
We're trying to be better FLOSS citizens so I'm proposing to my colleagues that we put some effort in getting this pushed upstream. The first step of which would be to see if anyone wants the feature and is the /net maintainer willing to take on this code (not that we intend to dump and run). Our existing code is a little too tightly coupled to our out of tree board support so I don't have a preliminary patchset to provide. If there is interest I'll work on porting it from our tree to a vanilla u-boot tree (we have a couple of supported eval boards around). Thanks for reading, Chris Packham
