From f09f7ee20c867818bacf79426cf491b2749e7eff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ang Way Chuang Date: Tue, 17 Jun 2008 21:10:33 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] tun: Proper handling of IPv6 header in tun driver when TUN_NO_PI is set By default, tun.c running in TUN_TUN_DEV mode will set the protocol of packet to IPv4 if TUN_NO_PI is set. My program failed to work when I assumed that the driver will check the first nibble of packet, determine IP version and set the appropriate protocol.
