Hi David, all

I went  as far as to see that different Kernel code is responsible for IPv4 and IPv6 implementation.
We closed the issue in current version as a limitation, but of course we would be happy to get rid of that.
Probably it would be a bit easier to get support in  the next version, since we are going to base on another Linux flavor, which is based on latest Kernel.

Michael
