Bug#517892: linux-image-2.6.26-1-openvz-amd64: IPv6 tunnels through sit v4tunnels not possible
Hi Philipp
I have built a new kernel version that solves this problem. Can you try
this one out?
You can download it from:
http://download.openvz.org/kernel/debian/test/linux-image-2.6.26-2-openvz-686_2.6.26-19.1_i386.deb
Best regards,
// Ola
