Re: [from Bridge list] IPv6 + ip6tables packet bridging?

Afraid I could only do the 2.4.  I wanted to go to
2.6, but there was an issue with large defragmented
packets in 2.6 that was not there in 2.4 (or maybe the
refragmenting) which pretty well kept my code from
working.  As far as 2.6, I can test all ya want; I
have 3 sequentially linked dual homed machines all
configured for IPv6 and ready for either router or
bridge mode.  I have it set up to examine packets
given the IPv6 router mode that works.  Heck, I even
examine packets in the raw/PREROUTING among others, so
fairly entrenched in IPv6 currently.  I could probably
test some 2.6 if I reinstalled it on my laptop, but it
would be much more limited than 2.4, I am afraid.
