TomatoUSB

I noticed in the changelog for build 50:

Preliminary support for IPv6 in Extras and USB+VPN editions: all required kernel modules are included, iptables and other user space applications are compiled with IPv6 support activated, included radvd daemon. Firewall is not configured, no GUI configuration exists yet, and by default IPv6 is disabled on all interfaces!

Is there any chance of getting the modules, radvd daemon and at least the IPv6 enabled "ifconfig" and "route" utilities (preferably also "ping") as an add-on package that could be used on installations of the Lite build with USB storage space and swap?

With Hurricane Electric on the DDNS list, I'm curious to see if I can have my router patch my entire LAN into the IPv6 realm. I had that set up a few years ago with an actual computer as the router, but the low power, low noise version somehow seems like a much more exciting idea.

Unfortunately, turning on the IPv6 - even as separate modules - adds extra code to the kernel and increases the size enough for Lite and VPN builds to no longer fit into 4MB flash.

For this reason the IPv6 support is only targeted for routers with 8MB+ flash.

Is there a tutorial to use it?

No tutorial. Do you want to write one :) ?

Here's the thread with some useful firewall script for IPv6. I don't think any other IPv6 guides/instructions have been posted yet.

ok thanks :)
I don't really know IPv6, that's why I asked :)

Other than radvd and the kernel modules, TomatoUSB gets most of those items as a part of busybox… so you couldn't really package them separately anyway.

I've managed to fit a build of TomatoUSB onto my WRT54G, but I had to disable a bunch of things to get it to fit. What I'm currently running lacks: USB support, L2TP, PPTP, FTP server, HTTPS, Samba, CIFS, and Zebra. I wasn't using any of those anyway so it's no loss to me, and this also gives me ~300kb of usable JFFS space.

I'm not sure what features you need, but it might be possible for you to find a similar custom-build compromise… or perhaps you could remove certain *other* packages from the core build and use add-ons installed on USB storage in their place.

So far I haven't been able to get the toolchain to work. But I'm still playing with it. :)

The toolchain included with the source code works out-of-the-box on 32-bit Ubuntu but fails in confusing and cryptic ways under 64-bit. (But the source includes the code and build scripts needed to rebuild the toolchain, and those do seem to work correctly under 64-bit)

I use the toolchain every day on Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit without issue.
