Initial Impressions - Field Report on 3.6.11-2 Modena build

Dave: Congratulations on the new build. There's a lot to like here. I have a bunch of fussy comments...

- Installed without incident using procedure in the wiki
- DNS came up quickly (shortly after I had an IPv4 address)
- I didn't get DHCP address on Ethernet (se00) until I disconnected the Ethernet connector and re-connected it. I had disabled WiFi on my laptop, and used the ethernet link to burn the firmware (using address 192.168.1.2 as suggested in the wiki). After the tftp completed, I switched back to DHCP addressing, and waited for the router to come up. A couple minutes later, I still had a link local address (169.254…). I disconnected Ethernet and reconnected, and immediately got a 172.30.42.x address. Not sure what the proper behavior is, but I expected to have DHCP provide a 172.30.42.x address automatically.
- The web gui reports that the firmware is "CeroWrt Modena 3.6.10-3" (in two places), although the kernel is listed as "3.6.11" See attached screen shot.

- I have seen other reports about mDNS naming when I switch from the wired interface to using wireless. I get a GUI message in OSX that says, basically, 'Name Conflict: Updated Local Hostname from "Richs-MacBook-Pro-9.local" to "Richs-MacBook-Pro-10.local"' Here are the system log file entries that contain "mdns" at the time. NB: I am using CeroWrt as a secondary router, letting the gw00 interface connect to the LAN side of my primary router

- IPv6: Without doing any configuration (and no external IPv6 addressing set up yet), my Mac reports an IPv6 of fdbd:e109:c5b4::3e07:54ff:fe3f:daff at the same time I got the DHCP address.
- I configured a Hurricane Electric tunnel using the GUI and the information from my tunnelbroker.net<http://tunnelbroker.net> page. CeroWrt successfully got the expected 2001:470… IPv6 address and could ping V6 hosts. None of the LAN interfaces of CeroWrt got a 2001… addresses, although they had fe80:... and fdbd:… addresses. For example, ifconfig showed:

… etc...

I will keep playing with IPv6 configuration following the OpenWrt ipv6-support wiki page…
