Dear diary, on Mon, Aug 19, 2002 at 06:37:19AM CEST, I got a letter, where "David S. Miller" <davem@redhat.com> told me, that... > Full IPv6 stack is beeing mantained by USAGI project. > > Yes, and based upon previous attempts to get them to merge their work > into the mainline, we believe at this point that they actually enjoy > being a totally seperate project and not merging completely is a > feature for them. > > USAGI may only accept that comment, and the only way they may > disprove it is to merge their code to us as we have continually > requested them to do so. ...
FYI, early at this morning (UTC), Yuji Sekiya <sekiya@sfc.wide.ad.jp> wrote on the USAGI list:

Yes, we will send patches to mainline kernel. At least we will send the below patches by end of Setpember. We are now working.
- IPv6 default route fix - Source address seletcion - Privacy extension - IPv4/IPv6 double bind - NDP timer improvement - IPsec for IPv6
======
So, let's watch them and hope that they will fulfill this and send some usable patches to you..
PS: Sorry for replying to such an old thread, I only thought that people not subscribed on the USAGI mailing list may be still interested in this.
