Raw message 

Hi Christopher

I'm aware that there are newer Coova Chilli versions. (
https://github.com/coova/coova-chilli/releases)
My intention is to upgrade, and at the same time move to using a fork of
their repository. Previously it was in SVN not Git, which made it harder
for me to keep up with their development. I expect within the next month or
so I'll get Coova Chilli updated for the nightly releases at least.

Also, with the Debian/Ubuntu network traffic issue with IPv4 and IPv6. If
you are able to reproduce it, can you please post details of your system,
as I believe it's probably a Network manager issue, and working out how to
fix it would be good.

Regards

Tim
