  • Tiny yes, but IMO getting the attention of computer gamers needs to be the next step if a Linux flavor is going to become a household name.

    Even if it’s “SteamOS” that becomes the household name instead of “Linux” that’s still good overall. Maybe it’ll turn into how people used to say they had “Droid” smartphones, not Android.



  • Interesting re: Hurricane Electric. I removed that config a long time ago, but the Hurricane Electric site still has the tunnel set up so maybe it pings from time to time.

    My WAN port isn’t part of the bridge, I just did that temporarily as an experiment but it’s back to normal now.

    That makes sense about filtering – I didn’t notice that tab before in the Packet Sniffer!

    I think there’s a little bit of action when I hit “renew” on the IPv6 DHCP Client. I tried with “User Peer DNS” checked and unchecked but I couldn’t pick out a difference. Anything in the below list that sticks out?

    wireshark

  • I’m still not seeing anything, but it dawned on me that’s probably to be expected since my WAN port (ether2) isn’t part of my main bridge (bridge1)…

    So, I tried including ether2 in bridge1, but didn’t see anything different. I disabled and enabled ether2 but that didn’t make anything pop up on wireshark.

    In addition to following this guide that you linked I also tried filtering for ipv6. I also tried udp.dstport == 37008. No results there.

    Oh well, I’ll just keep waiting and watching!


  • There’s a reddit user who works for Frontier who comments about IPv6 from time to time. What I’ve gathered from his comments:

    • It’ll be a /64 prefix (confirmed by others who have already gotten the roll-out)
    • The delay has mostly been waiting on some sort of licensing deal for their equipment
    • The ONT needs to get an update pushed to it (probably done as part of the roll-out, but I don’t know how to check)

    What kind of router do you use?
