Re: [nznog] IPv6 needed on ADSL

The Draytek Vigor 120 actually uses an Infineon chipset (Infineon Amazon-SE). Also FYI the AU download page lists multiple different firmware variants optimized for different ISAM/DSLAM vendors: http://www.draytek.com.au/downloads.php?type=Vigor120 http://www.draytek.com.au/downloads.php?type=Vigor120On 17/03/2011 4:34 p.m., Cameron Bradley wrote:

I looked into that too, however as I can't ascertain the chipset the DV120 is based on, I'm loathe to put it anywhere near the 'fussy' Infineon DSLAMs Orcon use. Currently I operate a Netcomm NB6 in half-bridge, but as you say, no IPv6 Support.

The main problem at the moment is a lack of a CPE that properly supports IPv6, my attempts to build custom firmware for BCM63xx modems has been largely thwarted for now by Dynalink/Netcomm's failure to provide proper board definitions in their GPL released source code (it boots, but doesn't identify the board properly) If anyone wants to donate their old ADSL2+ (preferably Broadcom based, working or bricked) modems to the cause, please email me offlist. The resulting firmwares will be made available to all. I also stopped waiting for a CPE that works, and I wanted something easily/locally available, so I went instead for a TP-Link TL-WR1043ND running OpenWrt as the router and a Draytek Vigor 120 as a modem (it does PPPoA to PPPoE "transaltion")

Works like a charm IPv6 and all.

PS: I first tried a TD-8840 in half-bridge mode, but that doesn't do IPv6.
