i suggest following things to be included in the livecd: -ipv6 compiled in the kernel (not as module) (will make ~70KB larger). -ssh does not have ipv6 support (if use=ipv6 it does). -wget should also have ipv6-support (portage has support since wget-1.8.2-r2 and use=ipv6). -ping6 (from net-misc/iputils)
I'll enable it, but don't want to compile it in to the kernel. The module should autoload if needed, no?
well, when i insert my wireless card without modprobe ipv6 (before or after doing this), my wireless card don't get an ipv6 address. so having it as a module is ok, but then append ipv6 to modules.autoload or have anywhere this information that you have simply modprobe ipv6 for getting ipv6 support. a ssh -v -6 myhost also doesn't load ipv6-module.
OK, thanks for the info. Will add (maybe in kernel) soon.
Will be built into the kernel on all experimental (and later) CDs built after 20021221. grab them from http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/experimental/livecd/ (will be building a new one tomorrow, on 20021223) Closing this bug, thanks for reporting it :)
ppc livecd now also supports ipv6
