You don't provide any details, or show/tell us anything that you have already done/tried. Kernel version is one thing...how about simple version/distro of Linux (such as Fedora 37, Ubuntu 22, etc.). You don't tell us anything about the hardware/NIC's you have installed, or what you mean by "mobile IPv6". IPv6 is supported already through most wifi hardware that's current.

Also, we aren't going to do searches for you and hand you source code; we are happy to HELP, but you have to show your efforts.

I have ubuntu 22 and my linux kernel version is 6.1.70
I have enabled the Mobility in the kernel using "make menuconfig" command.


While setting up the UMIP for the mobile IPv6 I refer the git repo which are previously used. But they are outdated now.


So please send the link of current UMIP or any other link where UMIP exist.

Again, we are happy to help you but you are LITERALLY asking us to look things up for you and hand you links. This isn't a search engine.

It would be to beneficial to everyone involved if the OP would provide the LQ community with the associated log files. We could all be better equipped to help him/her correctly diagnose and fix their problem. It wouldn't hurt if the OP would better explain their issues more toughly it might befit all of us.

Again, there aren't any log files to provide, and the OP was previously asked to provide details, and they haven't. They DID come back and post a duplicate of this question, and they were reminded that IPv6 is already present in the recent Linux kernel. They just had to enable it and configure it.

I have already enable the ipv6 and mobility in IPv6 in linux kernel.
But I think there is a UMIP file...which couldnot be set up as the server is down.

Again: these things are *ALREADY PRESENT* in modern kernels...no idea what (or why) you're downloading things. However, if your actual goal is to use this in network simulations like NS2 or NS3, that's totally different.

If they are already present then please could you tell me in which linux kernel version it is ? Because mine it is 6.1.70 and I searched for mip6d folder in the etc folder. It is not there. and also i searched it in ubuntu packages and it shows they are not available.
