Using Linksys WRT54G/GS w/ Sveasoft firmware as tunnel endpoint

A recent experimental subscriber build of the Sveasoft firmware for the WRT54 (Alchemy-6.0-RC1.w42 V2.04.4.8sv) has IPV6 support including radvd. It is possible to terminate the tunnel in the router using a version of AICCU built for the MIPS CPU in the 54G. How-to is discussed in this thread on the Sveasoft BBS <http://www.sveasoft.com/modules/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=5642>, NOTE you will need to be a paid-up subscriber and already logged-in to view it. This is very nice as it means you don't need to run routing and radvd on a PC to have a subnet. My tunnel has now been up for 3 days, no problems once I got aiccu.conf right. When I get my 5 points for 7 days uptime I will set up the subnet. IPV6 on a Â£45 router, not bad!

I have a Linksys WRT54GS. I played with Sveasoft, then tried OpenWRT.org. There is an amazing difference: OpenWRT is great, and there are dozens of sites with packages for it (it uses a Debian-like package system) for everything I could imagine wanting to do. Aiccu was one such package. After reworking the init file, it worked fine for me. My only issue was that "dropbear", its default SSH server, was not IPv6-enabled. I never bothered to install the OpenSSH packages instead... Anyway, try OpenWRT, it can do what you want and seems much more mature.
