(usagi-users 03811) Re: MIPv6 and kernel version

Rodolfo,

If you want to test MIPv6 on 2.6.20, you can try to clone USAGI's git 
repository:

http://www.linux-ipv6.org/gitweb/gitweb.cgi

The repositories of interest are:
- linux-2.6-mip6
- mipv6-daemon

There is also 'net-2.6-mip6'. I'm not sure what the difference is 
between this one and 'linux-2.6-mip6'.

Regards,
Benjamin
