Hi guys, In my previous mail, I was talking about some problems with kernel panic. It seems that the problem is due to the netfiltering I used in the virtual device. Well, leaving that aside for the moment, I turned the netfilter and portsentry off and there seems to be no problem. I tried ifconfig ipv4 and ipv6 address on the virtual device and it work fine, as in I can see the addresses when I do ifconfig -a. Now, when I tried to ping/ping6 the address from another host. I can get to the ipv4 address but not the ipv6 address. The funny thing is that I did not do anything to the dev->neigh_setup to include any neigh_ops from arp or neighbour discovery. Because the virtual device hooks onto a real device, the ipv6 address actually belongs to the real device. According to specifications, a device can have multiple ipv6 addresses and new addresses are broadcast through neighbour discovery. It's weird that I can't ping from another device. Does anyone knows how can I ping6 the ipv6 address? Thanks Jonathan -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
