Is it true that the wi-fi stack in AP mode does not support ipv6 and there is no way to make it work?
Thanks.
Thanks.
What about if you try and communicate between the IPv6 clients using their link local addresses? Is it simply that the clients aren't getting a public IPv6 address rather than IPv6 being "turned off" on the network interfaces?
That's disappointing. What do you get from these two commands (on the router):
ifconfig eth1
ifconfig eth2

EDIT: I noticed that if I disable IPv6 on the WAN interface it removes IPv6 from the LAN interfaces. Perhaps if you switched to router mode, enabled IPv6 on the WAN and then switched back to AP mode??
