Remi,

Merci beaucoup à ta response. Actually, I found that mipv6 is within kernel 2.6.20 but when I tried to apply the appropriate configuration according to the instructions in http://www.linux-ipv6.org/memo/mipv6/ I stumbled on some problems. 
When I run chkconf_kernel.sh I received a message about two CONFIGURE features that seem not to be available in the kernel 2.6.20:
-IPV6_ADVANCED_ROUTER
-NET_KEY_MIGRATE

All other features were configured OK according to this script (no message about them).

I decided to ignore this message and tried to generate the mipv6 daemon and I received a message that the kernel was not configured for mipv6.

In summary, I'm having problems building this daemon. I don't have the exact output I got but, if you think that should work fine, I can copy it and send it to you. According to an e-mail answered by Benjamin Thery the merge to 2.6.19 is still not complete.

I'm just beginning with this kernel stack and I have lot of questions :)

Thanks,
Rodolfo.
