Actually, the IPv6 code in mrtg-2.9.29-ipv6.diff (final version) and 
mrtg-2.10.0pre1 should be exactly the same. But probably there are other 
changes between 2.9.29 and 2.10.0pre1 apart from IPv6...

It should be enough to pass --enable-ipv6 to cfgmaker and put 
EnableIPv6: yes in mrtg.cfg.

e.g. cfgmaker --enable-ipv6 public@[2001:760:4::1]

BUT:

You are seeing the bug I mentioned in my email to the list earlier 
today. In all versions, numeric IPv6 addresses work only when you 
specify IPv6 options.

So public@[2001:760:4::1]:161 works, public@[2001:760:4::1] doesn't.

You can apply this patch, which fixes the bug:

Let me know if you try it.


Regards,
Lorenzo
