With copies out to developers we now have confirmation that Apple still hasn't included DHCPv6 in the next release of OS X.
what is it about ipv6 which attracts religious nuts?
you sure it's not macos (says joel from a v6 enabled mac).
On a more serious note, I can on my Ubuntu machine just "apt-get install wide-dhcpv6-client" and I get dhcpv6, it'll properly put stuff in resolv.conf for dns-over-ipv6 transport, even though the connection manager knows nothing about it, at least dual stack works properly.
Can one do the equivalent easy addition to OSX?
You can, the actual integration issue is that network mangler (on ubuntu/fedora etal) and the osX airport connection manager will give up on a subnet on which they can't obtain an ipv4 address in prefernce to one where they can... this can also be worked around but it makes v6-only operation (Assuming that were desired, or even a good idea at this point) something that the majority of the users wouldn't be able to achive without the default behavior changing.
I'm not that interested in v6 only, I'm after requiring DHCPv6 and disallowing SLAAC, which clients can use IPv6 then?
List afaik:
Can: Windows Vista/Win7 (default) Linux (with non-default software) *BSD (with non-default software)
Probably:
OSX (with non-default software)
Can't:
Windows XP
Don't know:
Symbian Android Apple iOS
Mikael, try: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wide-dhcpv6/ http://wouter.horre.be/doc/stateless-dhcpv6-on-mac-os-x or http://klub.com.pl/dhcpv6/ There are others out there. I prefer wide for now. Works on 10.6. Haven't tried it on 10.5. Tom
