Fix your M$ WVS 6TO4 adapter errors by downgrading !

A lot of googled webpages seem to suggest you can fix your WVS 6TO4 yellow exclaimation mark device errors

6TO4 Adapter
6.0.6000.16386
This device cannot start (Code 10)

by downgrading to WXP which sounds a bit drastic to me !

However according to ComputerWorld only certain WVS Licences can be downgraded to WXP ! Owners of the OEM editions of Vista Business and Vista Ultimate can downgrade to XP ... but Vista Home Basic and Vista Home Premium owners can't !

M$ TechNet has a few less drastic options:

Uninstall 6TO4 & reinstall 6TO4
Use NETSH INTERFACE 6TO4 SET STATE DISABLE to disable 6TO4
Just ignore it ! You can completely ignore this error, if there isn’t IPv6 network deployed in the environment. The error won’t affect your system.

Finally the best bet may be to 'UPGRADE' to Ubuntu but then your Wi-Fi might stop working instead like mine did !

You just can't win ! Or maybe its time to switch to Sun OpenSolaris ?

The alpha release of Ubuntu Delivered by rPath is now available as a platform selection on rBuilder Online.

Create the appliance using the latest version of Ubuntu Delivered by rPath.

Goto the rBuilder Online's web interface:

Click "Create /Edit product version"
Select "Ubuntu Hardy Delivered by rPath" from the drop down menu

RBuilder Online - Create New Product Version

Note that as part of taking Ubuntu Delivered by rPath beyond its current alpha status, we have been making changes to our infrastructure to better support this platform. Because of the nature of these changes, updates to existing appliances based on Ubuntu Delivered by rPath will fail and need to be rebuilt and redeployed.

Ubuntu NetBook Remix

There's now yet another variant of Ubuntu "Ubuntu NetBook Remix" for netbooks and webooks such as the ASUS EEE ! Apparently wi-fi doesn't work so maybe I should wait for OpenSolaris Redux !

Ubunutu UMPC netbook OS

Now even Ubuntu are going the UMPC way with their "netbook" edition of Ubuntu !

Want a version of Linux for your Intel Atom powered “NetBook” – aka Asus Eee PC type subnotebook? Canonical hopes that Ubuntu Remix will fit the bill for OEMs – and presumably users, too - and has launched it at Computex in Taiwan.

Canonical recently announced their development of Ubuntu Netbook Remix as covered by my colleague Alex Zaharov-Reutt. This is a special release of Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) which is targeted at what they dub ‘netbooks.’

Until Canonical made their announcement there really was no Linux distro specifically aimed at this segment of devices. This is why ASUS made their own Xandros derivative, which, while not having licensing costs, did involve research and development time. It is not hard to imagine that a future Eee, particularly if it is based on the Atom processor, would also ship with Ubuntu’s targeted operating system especially because it too aims to eke the best result out of the Atom processor.
