PiCore 14 missing ipv6.ko module?
« on: July 07, 2024, 12:26:12 AM »
Hello,

I have noticed that the ipv6-netfilter-6.1.25-piCore-v7.tcz extension for piCore 14 seems to be missing the ipv6.ko module, which would normally be located at:

/usr/local/lib/modules/6.1.25-piCore-v7/kernel/net/ipv6/ipv6.ko

I needed it for wireguard functionality, so after installing the wireguard extension and modules I created a janky extension that loads the wq-quick scripts and stat scripts needed for wireguard tools, AND ALSO the kernel module by itself into the /lib/modules directory where wireguard expects it. My extension works, I've been using it for several months now and I can connect to the interface and network thru wireguard works as expected. It's just after a few months of this janky setup I've been wondering if I'm doing something wrong and overlooking how i'm supposed to load wireguard.

Am I overlooking something, or is this a mistake in the extension for ipv6-netfilter? This seems like it's missing from this extension.

You should upgrade to 14.1. The module is in that version.

Hi Cheembus
ipv6-netfilter-6.1.25-piCore-v7.tcz  does appear to be missing ipv6.ko.

The latest kernel version for piCore 14 is 6.1.68-piCore-v7l.
ipv6-netfilter-6.1.68-piCore-v7l.tcz  does contain ipv6.ko. Switching to
piCore-14.1.0.zip  and updating your module extensions should fix it.

There is a chance ipv6 is in the 14.0 base.  It would be in /lib/modules/…..   there was a dependency that was pulling it into the base, and I forget when I found it and moved it back to the extension.

(sorry for late reply)

Ok, I assumed it was something along the lines of that. I'll just be updating then when I get the chance.
