This guide will assume you are running Debian 3.0 woody stable and are
interested in running IPv6. There is some basic support in the 2.4.18
kernel which you can install from binaries using Dselect but this
guide will assume you want the USAGI fixes which went into 2.6. To get
2.6 you need to migrate to the testing train of debian. So you should
replace your /etc/apt/sources.list file with one containing test
entries such as the following:

deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main

Once you do this fire up "dselect" and choose "update" to get the
latest packages. Find the package "2.6test4" and add it to the list
doing the usual dependency resolution. I recommend removing the ppp
packages if you don't need them as they caused some errors during the
install.

Do the update making sensible choices regarding what to update and
what to not. I left most things at the default. Be sure you follow the
guidance regarding the boot parameters for the lilo.conf file.

reboot and you're done make sure you have the "iproute" and
"iputils-ping" packages installed before continuing!

For some reason the client doesn't pull a default route from the
router, to get around, use the following command:

/sbin/route -A inet6 add ::/0 gw <IPv6 GW Address>


You need to perform the following config in order to statically configure an IPv6 address

In file /etc/network/interfaces

iface eth0 inet6 static
	pre-up modprobe ipv6
	address 3ffe:c15:c002:48::10
	# To suppress autoconfiguration completely
	# up echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/autoconf
	netmask 64
	# The router is autoconfigured and has no fixed address
	# Otherwise (/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/accept_ra)
	# gateway 3ffe:c15:c002:48::1

	netmask
