Hostapd does NOT compatitable with IPv6?
Posted: Tue Jun 25, 2013 2:23 pm
I have a 256M old Model B RasPi with newest Raspbian kernel and softwares. Following the elinux guide, I can set a wireless hotspot and everything related to IPv4 went well, but not IPv6.
Wireless adapter: RT5370(Tenda W311M)
Before configure wireless: eth0 have IPv4 address(automatically) from my ISP, manully set IPv6 address and IPv6 gateway in /etc/network/interfaces. I can get access any site from RPi.
After hostapd setup: eth0 got IPv4 address as before, eth0 seems to have IPv6 address(since I set it manully). wlan0 is a static IPv4 address 192.168.0.1, SSID=MyRPi. Any computer can only get IPv4 address from MyRPi, and they can get access to any IPv4 sites. But RasPi cannot access any IPv6 sites even cannot ping the gateway.
What I want to do: IPv4 just like the above(NAT), eth0 can access IPv6 sites.
It would be better if the following is true: any wireless device include RasPi's eth0 will also get an IPv6 address like eth0 before(bridge)
I know bridging and nating are different layers, but I did see a Buffalo router have "IPv6 passthrough" option which meets my requirements. And ebtables seems can handle this. But I don't know the configuration.
Any guide or help is appreciated!
