(usagi-users 02034) IPv6-Module initializing failed

[Bernd Leinfelder <usagi@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am experimenting with usagi-v6 for my master thesis. I have
the following problem: I installed the usagi-kernel on
a server at the university's network, everything is ok (so far).
 
Now I want to use my workstation at home for configuring a tunnel
to the server. This workstation has an ethernet card, but no
attached network. It is connected to the internet via an
isdn-uplink. Same kernel on server and workstation. 
But: The ipv6_module on my workstation is never leaving state
'initializing' (checked with lsmod). So whenever I try
to configure something, address or tunnel, I get error messages
about unsupported protocol, no such device and others.

The kernel log fills with messages like this:

kernel: neigh_periodic_timer(tbl=c0295460)


So, I assume that the module is initializing as long
as it takes to finish neighbor discovery, which is
never the case because there's no 'real' network.

Does the usagi module need a real attached ethernet network
to succeed initialization? How can I circumvent this?

Regards,

Bernd
