We'll be putting out a call for funding once we're ready to be fully-manned on this project. Right now Seth is working on it in his free time and time his employer is allowing, and we're a bit out from being able to dedicate our full time guys on this, as we have to get 2.0 out first (this is a 2.1 feature, though those who want to play can sync it on 2.0). Once we get there we have to have the funding, the bulk of the dev work gets done by people we employ full time. Seth has a few basics working and has some great work done, that's barely scratching the surface though. Almost every single page and every back end piece has to be touched, pf needs to be fixed so it can handle IPv6 fragmentation (ditto in OpenBSD, though Henning Brauer's response to that question at EuroBSDCon was "IPv6 cannot be fixed"), ipfw fwd (for captive portal) doesn't work with IPv6, and I know we'll hit other issues along the way with various things. Both in our code base, and in FreeBSD's. It's a considerable project, looking forward to it though. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
