sixxs-aicci ipv6 error, " socket: protocol not supported"

[timsan]

hello,

When I try to use my sixxs-aicci ipv6 tunnel (ping6), I get the following error:

ping6: socket: Protocol not supported

The kernel is a small kernel. However, if_tun, if_gif and if_faith are in kldstat.

Would anyone have a few more ideas what I could try or test here? I set up sixxs-aiccu on another box, using the generic kernel, and it worked easily.

ta, t.

Does 'the small kernel' include INET6?

hello,

Yes, in the kernel, there is INET6:

options         INET6                   # IPv6 communications protocols

and just for more clarity here, here is the kldstat:

here's the question ... does sixxs-aiccu/ipv6 on FreeBSD amd64 need anything else?
