Ambergris

For those of you not in the know, ambergris is defined as: a wax-like substance that originates as a secretion in the intestines of the sperm whale, found floating in tropical seas and used in perfume manufacture.

Sonic IPv6 Tunnel with DD-WRT

Sonic (my home ISP) offers an IPv6 tunnel for their customers who have a service plan that does not offer native IPv6 yet. Sonic’s IPv6 tunnel operates much the same way Hurricane Electric’s Tunnel Broker does, however since the endpoint is located inside the ISP you should get better performance. Sonic even offers example configurations for configuring the IPv6 tunnel endpoint on various operating systems, but none for DD-WRT, a common aftermarket router firmware. Another Sonic user did document how to configure Sonic’s IPv6 tunnel with older versions of DD-WRT on the Sonic forums at dev-random.me, however the link appears to be dead.

Installing the server OS I made this server inside VMWare, however the steps are the same if you are using a different virtual machine server or a physical machine. I used Debian 5.0 and used the net-install iso. Since we will only be needing a bare Debian install and just a few extra packages there is no need to download/install the entire OS. ...

Switch Network Interface in Linux

This guide will tell you how to rename or switch network controller names in Linux. Often when installing Linux the installer will automatically pick the names of the network controllers. And for some reason the order it names them is almost always not the order I want them in. I usually like the primary/on-board card eth0, and all additional cards eth1-n, however the installer often has its own ideas. So this is how to correct it! ...
