Instead of tspc (now deprecated), see “gogoc”

Not able to find this with apt-get or aptitude but did find some other config options.

Is this outdated?

In regards to Manankanchu and Paul’s issue, the problem is that the tap/tun module isn’t running. To start it, just run the following:

sudo modprobe -i tun

To have it load it every time the computer starts up, run this command:

sudo echo “tun” >> /etc/modules

Note: If you decide not to use IPv6, it’s not necessary to remove the tun/tap module.

Works fine for me. But if i want to use the IPv6 for Sabnzbd I must everytime put “sudo tspc” in the terminal to activate it. I want to automate it, but I don’t know how.

Hi
Thanks for this guide.
However, I had some problems implementing it on Ubuntu Hardy on my MacBook as when I completed the installation/config as you describe (and I installed the Gateway6 5.1 Source Code (Linux/Unix/Darwin/BSD) as is recommended in the email I received after registering with go6. Note that this is not straightforward as the .tar.exe file needs to be renamed to tar.gz before compiling).
In any event, after I had followed all of the steps and tried
ifconfig tun
I get this error
tun: error fetching interface information: Device not found

Any suggestions what’s up with this?
Thanks
Paul
