good evening!

i am currently testing ipv6 in an ecos target and have
done your suggestion of modifying the tahi test suite
in order to pause the test to allow the user to reboot
the target especially for nd and stateless-addrconf
tests. however, most test cases fail... is my target
the problem? my target is an atmel board.  would it be
possible to know what your target was in testing ecos
in ipv6? 

another point is that possibly my freebsd is the one
not working properly. my current configuration is
simply just an installation of tahi test suite in
freebsd 4.5.  what does it entail to have a properly
configured host running freebsd with tahi?
 
thanks so much!

looking forward to a favorable reply.

regards,
elvie hau
