Re: How did you check you have no IPv6 address?

It was my bad. I had checked the ipv6 connectivity on my n900 just 10 minutes before, and then i had a crash on my ipv6 connection at home just after that, before i played around with the N9.. :P

I feel a little bit ashamed for not checking up on that. :)

Cheers and kiitos for the assistance! :)

How did you check you have no IPv6 address?

Did you check the address with "ip addr show" instead of "ifconfig" or did you try browsing for example to www.testipv6.com? (busybox is not IPv6 enabled at the moment and that's why you should not assume IPv6 address is not configured just because it is not shown by by ifconfig:-).

Same as the first post

Hi,

Yeah, i noticed the same thing yesterday. Even though the ipv6 module was loaded into the kernel on my n9 it did not receive a ipv6 adress, although the rest of my network devices all got them.

I'll try to dig a little deeper into it tonight, but it seems that me and lihamakaroonilaatikko bumped into the same issue. :-[

This works in WiFi as well. IPv6 kernel module is loaded at any network attachment (by 00_enable_ipv6 script), be that WiFi or cellular. The more complex script (01_enable_apn_ipv6) is required to setup IPv6 PDP in the case of cellular networks.

Try close/start WiFi and see if it helps.

You might also want to check what addresses are configured by "ip addr show" command in Terminal, there should be IPv6 addresses on wlan0 interface if your network has IPv6 enabled.

You can also check with "lsmod | grep ipv6" that the IPv6 kernel module is loaded.

I have IPv6 at home but my N9, despite of having installed the ipv6 support, does not get any IPv6 address. I was checking the scripts in the phone just to find out that the IPv6 seems to be activated only when in cellular network. Is this the case?
