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.
