What if I install another VMWARE image of FC7, then is it possible? (Also, note that i do not wish to test the default ipv6 linux kernel stack, but a custom ipv6 stack.) How can I make the linux kernel understand that the incoming packets are for testing the custom ipv6 stack and not the default stack. If not, can i prevent the rebooting at any point. Another things I was experimenting with porting of TAHI suite on linux. Is it possible to install TAHI on linux? (I saw a patch of tahi for linux : http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/5946023/com/tahi-linux-devel-3.0.12-4.1.i586.rpm.html ) Thank a lot for your input. -- Ray Georgia Tech On Thu, Jun 26, 2008 at 2:06 AM, Karsten Keil <kkeil@suse.de> wrote: > On Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 06:12:50PM -0700, Ray Francis Gonsalves wrote: > > Hi, > > > > The following is my situation. > > > > I've VMWARE on my base system (FC7). > > > > On this VMWARE I've installed an image of freeBSD, and in this freeBSD > O/S > > I've installed TAHI suite. > > > > Now, I've a custom-made ipv6 implementation (not the default FC7 Linux > one) > > on my FC7 base system. > > > > This is not possible, you have to install a second guest for your NUT. > The reason is simple, the testing will reboot the NUT in many test steps > so our BSD guest get shutdown as well ... > > > I wish to test this ipv6 stack, in short: > > > > TN: freeBSD6.3 (On vmware). > > NUT: FC7 (base system). > > Using vmware is possible, but you need a second guest for this. > And you need to make the /dev/vmnetX devices RW for the user which run the > vmware, this is needed because the TN need to set promiscious mode on > the interfaces. > > > > > > How can I achieve this? > > Will the packets sent by TAHi be caught by the default ipv6 linux kernel > > implementation. > > How do I route the packets to my custom-made ipv6 stack. > > > > Thanks, > > Ray > > Georgia Tech > > > > -- > > "Don't wait until everything is just right.
