[Discuss] [LinuxSIG] Fwd: Linux Meeting Saturday, November 4th, 2023

[BCLUG]

This may be of interest as a topic of discussion (I raise it here in 
case I can't make it to the meeting):

> China has issued an edict requiring all new Wi-Fi hardware to be IPv6
> enabled, and enable the protocol by default from the moment it's first
> switched on.

And, China being China (in a good way):

> The requirements go into effect December 1, 2023.


That's in less than a *month*.



It was discussed on the https://2.5admins.com podcast (with Allen Jude 
of FreeBSD & ZFS; Jim Salter of ArsTechnica, etc.; and Joe Ressington of 
all the Linux podcasts).

Worth a listen if not a subscription.


Finally, something that may give IPv6 implementations a boost.
