I want to call my readers attention to something neat that Earthlink
R&D did. They wanted to make it possible for more folks to be able
to play with IPv6. They came up with a neat hack that uses a Linksys
WRT54G, that turns it into an IPv6 appliance/router. More details
can be found at: < http://www.research.earthlink.net/ipv6/>.
I tried this out today on a spare WRT54G that I had laying around.
I was able to download the firmware and get it configured and working
in less than thirty minutes. MacOS X works just fine on IPv6 and is
quite easy to configure. I plan to leave this appliance/router up on
my network for a while and use it as a tool to come up to speed on
IPv6. This approach allows me to play in both the IPv4 and v6 world
from the same network and with the same computer for just the cost of
a WRT54G, which is about $50. Pretty neat!
