Hi everyone, I use IPv6 - kernel 2.4.18 - flow labels in a simple test program. Over the wired eth0 interface this works fine; flow labeled packets are received at the destination node, on the local link. In my test setup I use 2 IEEE 802.11b PCMCIA network interface cards to create a native IPv6 Ad-hoc network. Normal UDP traffic is received over this (eth1) link perfectly, but when I set flow labels, the messages never leave the kernel! (I can use TCPdump on another wireless PC and see that nothing is sent) I already checked (and found OK) - explicit output to eth1in the code (a correct call of setsockopt) - wireless connections up (ping6 works fine in the background) - flow label lease granted by kernel (by monitoring /proc/net/ip6_flowlabel ) Also the problem is NOT in TCPdump, because I did a raw-datalink test with flow labels, and these packets were received and recognized over the wireless link. Anyone knows why the (IPv6 part of) the kernel refrains from transmitting flow labelled messages over 802.11b links? I find this very strange for one. kindest regards, _____________________________________________ Felix Ogg (TU/e graduate student) Tel: +31 40 27 45605 Department Software Architectures [WDC 2.010] Philips Research/Natuurkundig Laboratorium Prof. Holstlaan 4, 5656 AA EINDHOVEN - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
