(usagi-users 03851) FW: Zaurus for MIP6

Dear USAGI members,
I've sent a mail regarding the MIP6 and Zaurus model to Keiichi Shima
and he asked me to refer to USAGI members. 

Could you please help us on the issues that I've mentioned below. 

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Gopinath

Unfortunately, the Zaurus MIP6 development is suspended in our  
project, mainly because we don't have person who can have time to  
work on it.  The Zaurus we used at the last Thai IPv6 summit and  
other places was based on the linux kernel 2.4.x, a bit older version  
of Linux.

The MIP6 kernel was made by volunteers from USAGI people a few years  
ago.  They are not using Zaurus any more and no one can maintain it.

I don't know the latest environment about Zaurus, however, if it runs  
on the latest Linux (e.g. 2.6.x) then enabling IPv6 and applying MIP6  
patch are not so difficult for Linux developers.

I suggest you to ask this question at [email protected]  
mailing list.  Some of the USAGI users may be using latest Zaurus...
