So years ago we made the decision to get rid of most of the unmaintainable code in IPFire 2, rewrite it and by doing that adding support for IPv6. IPv6 is really difficult because many things do not work like they do with IPv4. So just adding that wasn't very well possible either in our opinion. So far we have pretty much completed a lot of the work of the network stack. That is what I call everything that is in the "network" package. http://git.ipfire.org/?p=network.git;a=summary https://pakfire.ipfire.org/package/network Please have a look around. I also held a talk about this at the last summit. It is really not the best, but should give you a brief introduction about how things work, are supposed to work, and what some of the thoughts behind that are. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzLmUvNrAik As mentioned in there, this is pretty much at an alpha state and needs more work to get stable. This is why I am writing this email. If you are interested in working on IPFire 3, maybe install the latest image and set up networking on it. That might run either very well, or you might run into some bugs. In the latter case, please open bug reports. The network component is the core of the IPFire functionality. It should be rock solid hence we need to test it well and make it as robust as we possibly can. It is working for me and some others have been playing around with it, but every new user will run into new bugs :) When we have this working properly, we can move on to the next big things that are still to do in IPFire 3. The latest image can be downloaded here: http://people.ipfire.org/~stevee/IPFire_3.x/VM-Images/20151101/x86_64/ Documentation is available here: http://source.ipfire.org/releases/network/man-pages/ Pay special attention to the quick start guide: http://source.ipfire.org/releases/network/man-pages/network-quick-start.html There is also more on this in the talk.
