Title: IPv6 support in Core v13.0
Post by: TCLGuy on March 14, 2022, 03:40:35 AM

Hello,

I'm trying to enable IPv6 in TCL Core v13.0, but having no luck.  I've searched through past IPv6 posts in this forum, but it seems like there isn't much posted.  Here is what I've looked at:

1) Looking through all the 13.x TCZs for IPv6, I could only find ipv6-netfilter-5.15.10-tinycore.tcz, but I don't need firewall.
2) The "dmesg | grep -i ipv6" command returns nothing
3) The "ifconfig eth0" makes no mention of ipv6 (inet6)
4) I tried setting a static IPv6 address on eth0 using "ifconfig", it return "Address family not supported by protocol"

So, does anyone have any suggestions on how one goes about enabling IPv6 in Core v13.0?

Thank you!

ipv6.ko.gz is in the ipv6-netfilter-5.15.10-tinycore extension

Edit: loading ipv6 seems to enable ipv6/inet6

There are inter-dependencies between the ipv6 and firewall modules, so you may not be able to avoid the fw modules.

Thank you Curaga and Juanito for your help...  Loading ipv6-netfilter-5.15.10-tinycore extension did the trick!
