Does ethercard support IPV6? #210

Closed PatientCoder closed 7 years ago

PatientCoder commented 8 years ago

Does ethercard support IPV6? As far as I know the ENC28J60 is one of the only Arduino boards that supports IPV6. When I look at a sent UDP packet using Wireshark the packet has an IPV6 header then an IPV4 header, then data.

I doubt it. The code is quite old and was written with minimal overhead and code complexity in mind, as far as I can tell. Are you sure it's not some gateway setup or other adding the IPv6 info?

NodeMCU works with NodeMCU and so do LoPy, of course, if you can use wifi..

uIP (now part of Contiki) supports IPv6.

And there is the UIPEthernet for Arduino, which is based on uIP: https://github.com/ntruchsess/arduino_uip

Sadly that doesn't support IPv6 either.

No, EtherCard has no support for IPv6.

Last year I wrote a library called EtherSia that implements IPv6 for Arduino using the ENC28J60 chipset:

Hey, great! Might be something to add to the README here, as EtherCard is getting a bit old...

Aw, never mind - already in there - apologies for missing that.
