Package: rtl-sdr Version: 0.5.3-11 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
IPv6 can now be considered the default IP protocoll, which should be used by all applications. # rtl_tcp -a :: Found 1 device(s): 0: Realtek, RTL2838UHIDIR, SN: 00000001 Using device 0: Generic RTL2832U OEM Detached kernel driver Found Rafael Micro R820T tuner [R82XX] PLL not locked! Tuned to 100000000 Hz. listening... Use the device argument 'rtl_tcp=:::1234' in OsmoSDR (gr-osmosdr) source to receive samples in GRC and control rtl_tcp parameters (frequency, gain, ...). rtl_tcp does seem to correctly listen to the 'any' ipv6 address... but: # netstat -anp | grep rtl_tcp tcp 0 0 255.255.255.255:1234 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 4999/rtl_tcp Nope, it just somehow listens to the IPv4 broadcast address, which also is useless. The same happens if you specify any other IPv6 address: # rtl_tcp -a 2001:4060:dead:babe:f98e:1e76:385b:faa0 Found 1 device(s): 0: Realtek, RTL2838UHIDIR, SN: 00000001 Using device 0: Generic RTL2832U OEM Detached kernel driver Found Rafael Micro R820T tuner [R82XX] PLL not locked!
