According to the Wikipedia IPv6 article, Privacy extensions are, except for the Windows platform and Mac OS X since 10.7 as well as iOS since version 4.3, not enabled by default.

In theory, one can enable the IPv6 Privacy Extensions on all interfaces at once using sysctl like this:

sudo sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.use_tempaddr=2

However, this currently doesn't work as expected, so I'm using this one-liner in /etc/rc.local:

for IF in `/bin/ls /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/*/use_tempaddr` ; do echo 2 > $IF ; done

This also sets "use_tempaddr" for "default", which means it should also apply to interfaces added to the system afterwards.

A simple check to verify that the new configuration is working: ipv6-test.com will print your MAC address when available...

This is a copy of a post I made to the isdn4linux mailing-list.

The attached patch adds support to mISDN-1_1_9_2 for the Eicon DIVA USB ISDN adapter (071d:1005).

The bits I've added to hfcs_usb.c are from kernel 2.6.31. So far the adapter works fine for me (tested with 1 and 2 concurrent calls to asterisk 1.4.26.1 with chan_misdn).

You can get the patch here: misdn-1.1.9.2-Eicon-Diva-USB.patch.

This is a copy of a post I made to the isdn4linux mailing-list.

In the latest kernel, char bus_id[20] has been removed from struct device. To read or set the device name, dev_name(device) resp. dev_set_name(device) have to be used instead. The attached patch does exactly that. It allows me to run mISDN-1_1_9_2 with kernel 2.6.30.5, with no problem so far. My understanding is that dev_name and dev_set_name have been introduced in 2.6.27.x, hence the check for >= 2.6.28. I haven't tested the patch with kernels older than 2.6.30.5 though.

You can get the patch here: misdn-1.1.9.2-no-bus_id.patch.
