[ubuntu-uk] Routers, open source firmware and IPv6
Hi all, Following troubles with karmic, ipv6 and my net connection, I'm looking to get a new router, which I think will solve my problems. As karmic works with my university network, I'm sure the problem is on my end. I get broadband from ukfsn, with a static ipv4 address, via entanet, over a bt line. As far as I know, this is all ipv6 compatible (though I'm not sure whether the static ip confuses things). So I think it is my router; I'm currently using a SafeCom swart2 54125, and I've found ipv6 problems mentioned on some forums. Hence, the need for a new router. Can anyone suggest a reliable, ipv6 compatible router? TIA, and seasonal greetings, John -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Routers, open source firmware and IPv6
If you wish to enable ipv6 on your computer, just do sudo apt-get install miredo which will automatically give your Ubuntu system a ipv6 address that just works with no more hassle. There is no need to buy any new hardware since you now have an ipv6 tunnel setup on your machine.
