[Angstrom-devel] RFC: ipv6 support in angstrom

[Koen Kooi]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

The following RFC was accepted by all angstrom developers, so moving it
to OE now:


I want to propose the following:

* enabling the ipv6 kernel module on all network capable devices
angstrom wants to support.
* enabling the mip6 kernel module on capable kernels (afaik vanilla
2.6.23 or patches 2.6.x)
* have ipv6 support enabled in the c library and busybox

Some machines already do all this, but afaik we don't have a policy for
it yet.

  Just one note - ipv6 is set for autoload in kernel.bbclass, not sure
this is good idea for such circumstances.

That doesn't matter, since the kernel-module won't be shipped by
default, only enabled in the defconfig.

Koen
