Well, not entirely correct. xs4all gives you an ordinary ipv4 connection, like any other isp does. Based on that v4 address, you can build an v6-in-v4 tunnel, There are several so-called "tunnel-brokers", and one of the experimentel services of xs4all is, that they also provide an tunnel. Just like the ones i have from http://tunnelbroker.net/ or http://www.sixxs.net/ I noticed that in Japan and Malaysia you can get it the other way round: Your isp connects you with native v6, with v4 gateways But that is not what xs4all provides... And to answer my own q, it seems that there is a patch for linksys w54gwp, enabling it for v6. Considering firewall? Unless you run a very old version of the kernel in your distro, current version of iptables is also statefull for IPv6 Userland tool is: /usr/sbin/ip6tables (pitty that v6 is not included [yet] with mainstream iptables) >And that is a problem, far to many new applications still get developed >for ipv4 only, rather than using the generic interfaces available.... Indeed, according to torrent-protocol, it should have been completely v6 aware, but i noticed that ktorrent (in the SuSE-10.3-distro) does not support it, alas ;-(( Well, at last apache, firefox, bind and ssh do v6 out-of-the-box.
