[Cerowrt-devel] running cerowrt/*wrt in a VM

[Cerowrt-devel] running cerowrt/*wrt in a VM

[Michael Richardson]

I need to do some testing of PPPoE, DHCPv6 (RFC6204/homenet) with an
OpenWRT/CeroWRT.  

I want to do this virtually, so an x86 build would be best. I grabbed the kvm
image of openwrt attitude adjustment, as per:  
  http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/qemu
and
  http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_adjustment/12.09/

it appears that it hasn't got any IPv6 stuff in it.  I thought that all this
stuff from openwrt went upstream?  Is 12.09 perhaps just too old?

My choices are, I guess:
   1) build cerowrt for x86 
   2) build latest openwrt from source

Or did I miss an obvious image?

OpenWRT doesn't cut releases too often; you should find a much more
recent build here:

I have had multiple requests for an x86 vm. I tried several times but
never got anything that even booted. And ENOBUDGET to make it work,
and ENOTIME to keep it working.

I do take patches, and all that is really needed for a cerowrt build
would be a new build script, .config file, and a working filesystem.

I'd argue for straight openwrt and/or see if you can leverage a trunk
build. Everything you describe has made it to openwrt "barrier
breaker" trunk already.

Thanks.
I'll try this.

I don't know about x86, but 12.09 built for plastic routers has IPv6 off by default. This page describes how to get IPv6 working (and some IPv6-only packages do have dependency on kmod-ipv6): http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/ipv6.essentials
