["Fan, Ardelle" <ardelle.fan@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jonathan

Thanks for your reply. I have resolved the issue.
I have cross-compiled the ifconfig, but I cannot bring up the eth0 with only
"ifconfig eth0 inet6 up"
I have to do such steps:
% ifconfig lo inet6 up
% ifconfig eth0 inet6 up
Then the eth0 is really brought up and I can use ping6 to ping the inet6
address of eth0
% ping6 -I eth0 inet6-address-of-eth0

Why must up the lo first? Is there any design or config reason?

Regards/Ardelle

Hi Ardelle,

The NIC should get its IPv6 address through stateless addressing. You
need to have a IPv6 router.
The ifconfig in familiar is not IPv6 enabled, I have to compile the
usagi libraries and the ifconfig under the usagi directory.

merry xmas
