MIPL Mobile IPv6 for Linux releases up to 1.1 are for Linux kernel 2.4 series. Releases 0.x and 1.x implement the whole MIPv6 inside the kernel. Later releases (2.x) are exclusively for 2.6 kernels. MIPL 2.0 is a complete rewrite of the protocol, implementing only the absolutely necessary infrastructural support for MIPv6 in the kernel and moving most functionality to user space.

Until Mobile IPv6 extensions are integrated in the mainline kernel, you may have to replace your kernel with one that has Mobile IPv6 support. This involves downloading kernel source and the modifications to support Mobile IPv6, and patching, configuring, compiling and last installing the new kernel in your system. You should carefully read INSTALL and INSTALL.kernel provided in the user space distribution package.

MIPL distribution is split into two downloadable packages for easier maintenance. You need both packages for full working system. First package is the user space code, and the second is a kernel patch for a particular kernel version. When installing MIPL, you should read all the documentation provided in the package.

The NEPL NEMO Platform for Linux is a NEMO implementation based on the MIPL 2 architecture. Version 0.2 is the second public release of NEPL. It aims to be fully RFC 3963 compliant supporting both implicit and explicit mode signalling. This release is based on MIPL 2.0.1 and should therefore be a lot more stable than the previous MIPL 2.0 RC1 based 0.1 release. Like the earlier release, version 0.2 only supports static routing between the HA and MR, but dynamic routing protocol support might be implemented in the future.
