mobile devices (umts/LTE) and IPv6

[Thomas Schäfer]

Hi,

Thank you for the answers.
The reason, why I ask, is quite simple.

I have got an LTE-stick (Huawei E398).
The software/driver for Windows from July2011 - has two dial-in methods 
(the "LAN"-Card(dhcp4) and the classic modem (ppp)).

In both cases IPv6 is not only disabled, also so disabled, that a normal 
user may not able to enable it. ( I guess somewhere in the registry.)

May be this behavior will be changed in the next releases.

But I prefer Linux and I would like to know a little bit what is going 
on on the "line".

Huawei/t-mobile have released an incomplete piece of software for linux. 
The modem-mode is working, but without IPv6.

The ndis-mode is a puzzle for me. Everything seems to be there, but it 
doesn't fit.



Sorry, if you feel I am to much off topic, but for me IPv6-operation 
doesn't end at the bgp-router.


Regards,

Thomas
