| I did, however, see things missing. Like support for anything besides IPv4. You must be kidding, as I installed "ip" because it made life much easier to me to create IPv6-in-IPv4 tunnel, manage IPv6 addresses, proxy-ndisc (equivalent to proxy-arp in IPv4), etc. Moreover, it supports handling multicast routes, etc. It has many options not found in ifconfig and route. For example, here is what I use to setup a tunnel named "melchior6" to a box connected to the 6bone: ip tunnel add melchior6 ttl 64 mode sit remote 137.194.161.6 ip link set melchior6 up ip addr add 3ffe:304:103:a0:2c0:4fff:fe4b:3e28 dev melchior6 ip route add 3ffe::/15 dev melchior6 and I have several tunnels like that, all working like a charm. To proxy-ndisc me, the remote machine has to issue a command like: ip neighbour add proxy 3ffe:304:103:a0:2c0:4fff:fe4b:3e28 dev eth0 That's it. And you tell me IPv4 is the only thing supported? Come on :) But as other posters do, I prefer to let "standard" commands in the default "/etc/init.d/network" script. Sam
