David, just be careful with an idea to build sound as a module.
This is a boot time/RAM tradeoff:

Sound used to be a module, and, it took precious time to load it during boot. So we made it builtin. And i'm sure most users have sound loaded anyway, so there will be no gain in RAM usage, just lose of precious boot time.

I would agree to move some other (not commonly used) modules, like vfat to modules and separate ipks, if it's not the case already.

Hi

After run those command. I got a ipv6 address under nanonote: opkg
update && opkg install kmod-ipv6 after install the kmod-ipv6, the usb0
will got a ipv6 address automatically

Neat.  Putting ipv6 in a kernel module is a good idea.  Takes up quite
some RAM I guess, and most people won't need it anyways (BTW /me thinks
we should also move sound, vfat, ext2 into on-demand kernel modules to
free up RAM).  Installing the ipk by default would be nice, though.

Then I can ping6 from/to host ping6 -I usb0 fe80::a8ad:93ff:fe3f:3be3

Just quick test ssh -6 to nanonote. I think the 'dropbear' not support
ipv6 yet or not enabled.

When running dropbear via xinetd we should just need another xinetd
config file to listen on the ipv6 port 22?  Do we already use xinetd?
Would also save some RAM.  Will try to have a look this weekend.

cheers,

David
