More testing: SIP (Gizmo5), GTalk, Ovi all work on ipv6 only. TOR and skype don't.
@ddrown nice icon like it
TOR and Skype as applications do not support IPv6, i do not believe there is anything you can do to make it work, short of patching the TOR source code to allow bindings to IPv6 addresses as well as IPv4 addresses.
Here is a general pointer to the expected experience in the IPv6-only world ... it's not too bad, but as you are discovering some apps have really dragged their feet, and IMHO opinion they will punished as people choose IPv6 capable options
Regarding TOR, i know it has its benefits but it also has some cost ... for example people snooping your unencrypted traffic on the exit node.... if you have unencrypted end-to-end data.
From an IPv6 perspective, some anonymity is baked into IPv6 protocol features like privacy extensions
Ok, this just sounds like you missed the first / before usr
youre right...just needed the /
edit: AAAwwwwk! now i lost my internet connection.
i went in and now you can see the new gprs connections. when i tapped edit, the apn just says internet.
also, i cannot change my internet setting at all! i tap menu, and then intenet connection and then it just crashes the menu. it says "not connected" and it wont cconnect to wifi now either. :/
if i change my settings to wifi only, then i can connect to my wifi.
but if i choose any, then it wont connect to ANY connection at all. and when i try to change the connection from the desktop menu, it says there are no connections available.
ok....looks like while it may not show me the circle as connected, that so long as i have tmo coverage i am connected to the network, though it will not take my wifi connections.
by TOR I mean The One Ring - an application for the N900 to integrate Google Voice into phone and messaging on the N900 (see this long thread for more info). Not the TOR network for anonymous browsing.
I don't use skype much at all, so not worried about that one, I was just checking to see which accounts I have would connect and which wouldn't.
Thanks for the info though that should be some interesting reading.

eh-hem...lol...help?!?
That sounds like icd2 isn't running. What does: "ps | grep icd2" say?
If that command does not show a line that includes "/usr/sbin/icd2" then try restarting it (as root) with "initctl start icd2".
The APN is hardcoded in this module to tmobile's ipv6, so you don't need to set it.
Edit: oh, and if /usr/bin/eapd is running while you aren't connected to wireless, it's possible icd2 didn't clean up your old connection properly. This can prevent you from connecting to wifi. The easiest way to fix that is to reboot your n900. I'll change my install instructions to recommend a reboot instead of restarting icd2.

I think both TOR's are the same, just specific uses. I use Tor because it's an easy way to run a proxy, not because of its anonymizing features.
