In fact the ipv6 stack does not export those functions when compiled
statically.  So I would not say it's our restriction.

A related matter is compiling MIPv6 statically, which is not possible
at the time.  This is really our restriction and due to the fact that
mobile_ip6.o is configured to be cn, mn or ha when insmod'ed.  We are
working on a solution for this, but don't hold your breath.

We do clearly state this in the INSTALL instruction file distributed
with our implementation.  I don't know whether this file is included
in the USAGI distribution or where it is located there.  You can find
it at http://www.mipl.mediapoli.com/INSTALL.  Also the site has a
wealth of information about the MIPL (HUT) Mobile IPv6 implementation.

If you have any questions or problem reports about MIPL please address
(or at least cc) them to our mailing list mipl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
