[gPXE-devel] [Etherboot-discuss] About IPv6

[Thomas Miletich]

Hello,
gPXE doesn't support IPv6 at this point.
There is an aborted attempt to add IPv6 support, the code can be found in
src/net/[ipv6.c,icmpv6.c,ndp.c].
All the ipv4 related code can be found in the same directory, which
could serve as an example how to implement such a protocol in gPXE.

What's easy to miss is that currently the ipv6 code will not be linked
into a gPXE build, and there is no config option for it. You also have
to add
REQUIRE_OBJECT ( ipv6 );
to src/core/config.c,
and perhaps an accompanying #define in src/config/general.h.

I'm also moving this thread to gpxe-devel at etherboot.org, which is the
successor of etherboot-devel and seems more appropriate.

Hope that helps
Thomas
